TechRec: Microsoft to Kill the Messenger in March | Skype is the New Game in Town
On March 15, Microsoft will be retiring Windows Messenger Live and is replacing it with Skype, which Microsoft purchased in 2011. When users update their Skype account and sign in using their Window’s Live credentials, all messenger contacts should be available for instant message, video calls, land-line calls, screen sharing and video calls on mobile phones.
