That announcement has been up since November, and yeah, it's sad.
I grew up on MSN (the bundled version on XP), even before my sack became hairy.
We have until March 15th, before they shut it down permanently. Treasure this time well.
Hello,
We are retiring the existing Messenger service globally (except for mainland China where Messenger will continue to be available) and bringing the great features of Messenger and Skype together. Update to Skype and sign in using a Microsoft Account (same as your Messenger ID) and all your Messenger contacts will be at your fingertips. You'll be able to instant message and video chat with them just like before, and also discover new ways of staying in touch with Skype on your mobile and tablet.
amg.

Meh, I'm one of the few people who never touched MSN. I only kept it around for doing deals on forums.
However, I will admit, it is a pretty sad day.
i totally thought this would be ryans topic?
Noooooo!!!! I want it totally eradicated!
Maybe this is the time for everyone to switch to QQ Messenger (You must!) (you need an account to see links)
Best messenger I've ever used =]

You have my Skype address?
But with skype you can paste images directly to the chat window, skype makes it difficult to make/use/find groups.
Skype gets VERY painful when your pc date is wrong for a couple of hours (sometimes microsoft syncs my time about 10 days into the future), then my skype chat write new chat messages somewhere half way up the chat window.
Skype has a tendency of not scrolling to the most recent messages.
I HATE Skype
Anyone up for a try of QQ?
