How to migrate from Messenger to Skype

We already know msn messenger closing yesterday. Now here is the next step we have to migrate to Skype from messenger.

The Messenger of Microsoft begins to disappear for the user. From Redmond take weeks and urging everyone to upgrade to Skype, we already know which is owned by Microsoft in a while.

And, since all users are subject to mandatory service to the new customer, we will go over everything you need to know to migrate with little pain.

The process: how to migrate from Messenger to Skype?

The March 15 began to disabled Windows Live Messenger for a subset of users, but the overall migration will take place from today. When opened, it displays a message prompting the user to run Skype. In doing so, moreover, Messenger will be uninstalled automatically .

What about our contacts? 

Continue to absolutely everyone in place. The Skype session starts automatically using the credentials of our Microsoft Account. The only difference, really, is the application you use to use the service.

What about applications that use the Messenger service?

Currently, applications that use the Messenger service will continue to operate as usual . We still use Pidgin Windows Messaging application 8 and Windows Phone. What is also disabled, incidentally, is the video chat using Xbox Kinect.

As we know, Messenger also has an interface XMPP , which will be deactivated in October . This will make applications that depend on that interface also deactivate that day. However, the networkMSP and official protocol would last for a little longer.

How much more? In March 2014 the network will definitely disappear Messenger , and at that time no longer work anything you use it.
