Okay. Is WLM windows live messenger, or windows live mail? There is a difference, right? -----Original Message----- From: Chris Skarstad [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2012 10:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Microsoft to Close Messenger and consolidate Im Services on Skype This is good news. From the reports I'm hearing, WLM isn't going away until the first quarter of 2013, so everyone has plenty of time to find an alternative program. So it's good that they aren't yanking it away all at once..
