It's official: Skype to replace Windows Live Messenger in 2013

i wouldnt think a lot of Linux people would use WLM service anyway

Not too surprising, I still use it occasionally, like twice a year or so (via Pidgin).
I wonder how the Skype compatibility is (IIRC the official Linux client got cancelled when Microsoft took over).

i myself dont use any IM Service so this wont bother me at all, but i think th writing was on the wall once Microsoft bought Skype

I use aMSN occasionally, and I guess the writing's on the wall for that program now

I mainly use Skype though, so I'm not too bothered by it
