So what's the deal with this thing? They delayed its closure once, and now days after its official closure, I'm still connected. I have a funny feeling their strategy to migrate everyone to Skype will backfire, and many will just say fuck it, why do I need an IM program anyway when I have a smartphone?
-
They will close the 3rd party apps next year, but the official MSN Messenger will stop working now.
I don't know anyone who uses it anyway, everyone is using WhatsApp or Facebook.

Strange that they're being nice about it.
-
It's because some businesses use MSN Messenger to chat to other companies, since it has Lync integration.
Lync users will be migrated to Skype integration for out-of-company chat next year.
-
They pushed out a Messenger update through Office for Mac's updater yesterday, and it's still on the Messenger network. Confusing.
-
Microsoft announced that they would herass MSN Messenger users this month into switching to Skype.
I'm guessing that's what the update is about :))
