Same lol, last time I logged on only MattG was online .

I've registered to skype and did the log in using hotmail account but I don't really like how it's all laid out so will use MSN until its dying day.

They better bring games to Skype ;l

and wish they'd do a better history so you can open up file etc rather than having to have a specific program to open up the history..

MSN just reminds me of tack and NO for colored usernames we ain't 10 years old @laura;

well there's coloured names on this forum aren't there????

There is Messenger Plus for Skype already actually - Although it doesn't bring back "coloured names", brings back many memories haha. In terms of merging - Just open up the skype login and then it will look like this:

I figured that was just to sign in with the MSN account and disregard all of 'lawrawrrr''s skype contacts, does this keep both then?

I believe once you click on that it will merge your Microsoft Windows Live account into your Skype account and then the contacts from MSN will then start to show on your Skype.

a few years too late imo, but glad it's being done.

[lawrawrrr]

you have to use your microsoft account to sign in by default? **** that....

I stopped using msn when I got my mac. My router blocked their messenger and I always had to use ebuddy which I hated. Glad people who wouldn't move over to Skype are being forced to now (hey mike heheh) Although I won't be able to merge mine cause I think all the new Skype versions are hideous and I'm using the old 2.8.

I have loads of people on msn, had to merge them, what a bad idea that was
