Microsoft is planning to force existing Windows Live Messengers users to upgrade to Skype from April 8th. In an effort to phase out its Messenger service, Windows Live Messenger clients will be restricted from signing into the service gradually starting in early April. Microsoft will be migrating users depending on their language, starting with English first and ending with Portuguese no sooner than April 30th.
Munsell says Microsoft is upgrading other apps that access the Messenger service on a case-by-case basis, including mobile apps. "On products like Xbox, we'll make announcements at a later date when we have dates to actually announce to customers."

I've been using messenger for many years....I think this really sucks.
Seems like M$ is dying.
