Hello there fellow escapists. So MSN was bugging me for an update, and today it finally told me its "mandatory to login". fine, as always, each update is worse, so i delayed as much as i could. lo and behold, it starts downlaodign skype. how time flies, its time to migrate to Skype according to Microsoft.
some official article: http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2013/01/14/say-goodbye-to-windows-messenger-microsoft-to-shut-down-service-in-march/
So, at first i was furiuos. how dare you clsoe down what once was the best IM service and migrate it to Skype of all things, one of the worst IM services out there. But then i retrospected myself, and realized that the last 2 years i only really used MSN for one person, and i got him on Xfire anyway. So no loss i guess. Still, the nostalgia clinges on to how great MSN was. so this is a sad day for IM.
So, escapists, how do you feel? did you use it? did you loose anything by this closure or will you be a happy migrator to skype. And why does LITE version of skype cant import MSN contacts anyway?
I guess the "microsoft buys and ruins" simply stand confirmed now, but whne you look clsoer at it, its kind ofl ike putting a sick animal down, merely shortening its misery. so i lost ap art of my chilhood today. but did i really loose anything. i am conflicted. how about you?
P.S. capcha: last straw
I am willing to be it knows what im thinking....
