Windows Live Messenger Taken Down!

[DarkAssassinXer]

What are your thoughts for those of you who would use the application? I'm a bit disappointed because I would use this everyday to talk to some friends and even if I did transfer them to skype, it still doesn't feel the same :c

I wasn't aware it was shut down. I haven't used it in years but for much of the last decade it was my main form of online communication.

I never used Windows Live Messenger, mainly because I prefer Skype.

I can't say I'm very concerned or upset about this as I knew it was gonna happen for quite some time now, also I haven't used Windows Live Messenger in forever for that matter, in the end I have Skype now and that's all I really need.

I used to use MSN/Live Messenger for years and years, was on it every single day, then one day I kinda stopped using it for whatever reason and used the FB chat instead, so I wasn't aware it had gone...

I used it mainly to chat with my friend but she has skype now too so bye bye MSN I would say. I don't really miss it though

I remember a couple years ago when MSN Messenger was sitll a big thing. I used to talk to my dad over it, among with some friends. I loved the application, and honestly it performed 100x better than Skype ever will even in the face of lag. Sad to see it go

I had a hotmail/messenger account. I never used the messenger part of the service and already have Skype account which I use instead. My hotmail was moved to outlook which is much better anyway, I'm not going to really miss it.

It's sad to see it go but the application became rather bloated and ad infest. Sort of like how skype I imagine is going to turn out now under microsofts care.
Like so many others it was a big thing back in high school and any online community, back then I rarely saw anyone that used skype.

I didn't even realize it was taken down. Man, I remember back a few years ago when having MSN was a big deal. Everyone used it to communicate. Because of Facebook and Skype, I haven't really used Windows Live Messenger in years. I guess it being shut down isn't really a big deal to me.
