Microsoft’s MSN Messenger, or Windows Live Messenger as it’s now known, will be fully retired on October 31st. The software maker originally announced its plans to shift users over to Skype last year, but Microsoft kept the service running in China. After October 31st Chinese Messenger users will need to use Skype, bringing an end to 15 years of the service.

I thought it was already dead, well at least for me. It´s been a goner for quite some time.
I used it until I received notification they were turning it off and one day I could no longer make it work.
