FolderShare vs Windows Live Sync log-ins

[Crossposted to FolderShare and Windows Live Sync newsgroups]

My client's been using FolderShare since before MS acquired it in Nov-05.
Their log-in (i.e., email address and password) is NOT associated with a
Live ID or a Hotmail account (obviously).

Assuming a Live ID will be required to log-in to WLSync, how will they
log-in after the transition?

Should we create a new Live ID associated with their current FolderShare
log-in in anticipation of the transition?

Will their current log-in automatically be associated with a Live ID once
the transition takes place? (Kinda doubt it.)

I imagine there are many other FolderShare users out there who may be in the
same boat and the WLSync hasn't said a word about this AFAIK.

Thanks.
