This will certainly be nice for some, but what about those that don't want
to use Skype? Are they just left in the dark?

Ok, I've installed the newest version of skype. And yes, if you sign out
of your skype account it will provide an option to sign in with your
windows live messenger account and to merge the 2 together. Once you do
this, you will use your windows live messenger user name and password to
sign in to skype, and the messenger contacts do show up along with your
skype contacts as well as an indication as to whether it's a messenger or
skype contact. Realy nice actually no need to use a separate messenger
app anymore, I like the change.

This will be the end of an era for some of us. The article is pasted

*Microsoft to close Messenger and consolidate IM service on Skype**
**By Juan Carlos Perez, IDG News Service**

**Microsoft will shut down Windows Live Messenger next year, compelling
users to migrate to Skype, whose latest version can import users'
Messenger contacts.**
**
**With the exception of mainland China, Windows Live Messenger will
close in the first quarter of 2013, and its users should install the
latest version of Skype, Microsoft said on Tuesday.**
**
**Users can sign into the Skype service with the credentials they use
to access their Microsoft online services, including Windows Live
Messenger. They will find their Windows Live Messenger contacts on
their Skype contacts list. If they used both Windows Live Messenger and
Skype, the contacts lists will be merged.**
**
**"We want to focus our efforts on making things simpler for our users
while continuously improving the overall experience," wrote Tony Bates,
Skype's president, in a blog post.**
**
**To encourage Windows Live Messenger users to update to Skype, Bates
touted several benefits they'll get from Skype, including support for
more devices such as iPad and Android tablets, screen sharing, the
ability to place calls to landline phones, and group video
conferencing.**
**
**However, this type of migration is rarely seamless, and users are
already raising questions in comments to Bates' blog post, including
the availability of certain Windows Live Messenger features and the
capacity of the Skype infrastructure to sustain the new workload.**
**
**Microsoft, which acquired Skype in October 2011 for $8.5 billion,
will provide more information about the transition, as well as
introduce special offers for fee-based Skype services, in the coming
months, Bates wrote.**
