Ever since Microsoft acquired Skype, it's been slowly but surely pushing those last MSN/Windows Live Messenger clingers-on into its brave new, Skype-based world. And now China, the last MSN Messenger stronghold, is finally getting the boot, ending the messaging service's 15 year run once and for all.
KP: If you’re like me and were a teenager in the early 2000s or even late 90s, you would have most likely used MSN Messenger (Windows Live Messenger) at some point in your life. Before apps like SnapChat, WhatsApp, iMessage, and Skype, MSN Messenger was the way we kept in contact with our friends. ICQ was out the door, and people were now asking what your MSN address was.
Msn messenger and yahoo messenger were the only two IM software I was using in the early 2000s
I wholeheartedly miss MSN. Skype isn't that great as an IM. MSN had is own charm and memories.
I remember so much from this article it's a good trip down memory lane.
I remember people getting really peed off when they moved the display picture from one side to the other it was like a huge deal then nothing lol.
I used to be on a Zelda MSN group and we used to talk via MSN all the time. I think that was about ten or twelve years ago. Time flies.
So sad lol... wonder how may active users still on there?
Ahhh... the good old memories.
