As ESI, the guys from Microsoft are planning to change some things to your new Windows 8, and one of these things will remove Windows Live Messenger from the start line, putting in place the great Skype.
Is this the end of the famous chat client? No, because apparently Windows Live Messenger will be integrated into Skype in the coming months, and as noted it will be officially announced soon.
This is the latest attempt by Microsoft to link their accounts with Skype software it acquired last year for about $ 8.5 billion dollars. Windows Live Messenger, on the other hand, a client is much older than Skype and dates back to 1999 when it was called MSN Messenger. At its peak, it reached 330 million users, but today that number has dropped considerably.
