Microsoft to kill the Messenger on March 15
The tech titan plans to migrate users of the instant-messaging client to
Skype, which it purchased in 2011.

Beware the Ides of March if you are a user of Microsoft's Windows
Messenger Live.
Microsoft announced last November it would soon retire its instant
messaging client in favor Skype, which Microsoft acquired in October
2011. Today it began informing Messenger users that the service would go
dark for the majority of users on March 15.
Hello,
On 15th March 2013 we are retiring the existing Messenger service
globally (except for mainland China where Messenger will continue to be
available) and bringing the great features of Messenger and Skype
together. Update to Skype and sign in using a Microsoft Account (same as
your Messenger ID) and all your Messenger contacts will be at your
fingertips. You'll be able to instant message and video chat with them
just like before, and also discover new ways of staying in touch with
Skype on your mobile and tablet.
Yours sincerely,
The Messenger Team
Skype officials said in late October that Skype would most likely
replace Messenger someday but had declined to provide a public
timetable. A blog post in November indicated the switchover would occur
during the first quarter of 2013.
Skype began testing new Windows and Mac beta releases in October that
let users sign in to Skype using their Windows Live ID, allowing them to
send and receive instant messages and see the presence information of
those using Live Messenger, Xbox, Hotmail or Outlook.com.
After migrating from Messenger to Skype, users will be able to use
Skype's instant messaging, as well as its video calling, landline
calling, screen sharing, and video calling on mobile phones.
