On November 6th, Skype team had provided information about their plans to replace Windows Live Messenger with Skype. In China, they had announced that they would still using Windows Live Messenger, but for the users that want to use instant messaging will then have to use Skype such as Business instant messaging . Then in the late October, Skype said that they would like to replace Windows some day but first they need to provide the private public timetable. As they're testing new Windows and Mac beta that allows users to access and sign in using Windows Live ID which allow the person to receive messages from the person that are also using Messenger, then in the month that Microsoft's acquisition of Skype was finished, they then move Skype to use the windows Messenger which allows storage of pictures, video, and other Skype content is now available on Windows. And for the users that moved from Messenger to Skype, they won't just be using Skype's instant messaging instead, they can also be using video calling, Skype's land line calling capability, screen sharing, video calling on mobile phones and with Facebook friends and group, calling. The Skype's team is actually convincing the users to leave Skype running for whole day and use it as their first choice for chatting.
-Windows and Skype coming together: Skype had saying that they wanted to replace Windows someday but seems like they couldn't or some people are already used to using the Windows Live Messenger they now are coming together instead.
- Skype is good when you want to use instant messaging: Skype is a lot easier to control and messaging but even more better in calling which is the reason why people use it when they need to send instant message.
- Windows and Skype: Users they moved from Skype to Messenger can now use storage of pictures, videos and other Skype content is also available in Windows. And for the users that moved from Messenger to Skype they won't just be using Skype's instant messaging but hey can also use video calling, Skype's land line calling capability, screen sharing, video calling on mobile phones and with Facebook friends and group, calling. Basically we can log into Skype using Messenger account either.
-It is great for both of the programs coming together which make people a lot easier to use, they could just download one of them instead of downloading both.
-Also it is bad because people might messed up both the programs together, they might be curious like which one should they have in either their phone, PC, tablets, or laptop; basically it would be hard to choose which one to download and people might messed up two of them.
-Why would they want to cooperate and become together? Users might just download one of them instead and the other program might have less download-der then?
-Is Skype going to take over Messenger?
