no more MSN/windows live messenger , now just skype

[...]

wtf do they have to mess with s**t .........

happened last night and its bloody annoying as i havn't got all my contacts across as some were share to msn from yahoo .....

​complete ballache

 

[conneh]

Microsoft purchased Skype, so why would they want 2 clients. I think you can log into Skype using you're msn ID.

 

[Harpham]

People still used MSN?

 

[Tom]

they've been warning people for months.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Didn't realise people still used MSN!! Brings back old memories....

 

[Reev]

they've been warning people for months.

Seriously, to the point where it was f**king annoying.

 

[...]

you can , but if you had yahoo contacts in MSN it has not transferred those across to skype ....



time to run a completely different client to have them all .....


​shame IM pro + does not have a downloadable client rather than a web based one .

 

[Tom]

Or you could move to china.

 

[...]

not seeing moving to china as an option ..... fired back up yahoo messanger , thats also supposed to work with FB friends , but alas ....no its no ......

i actually use this crap for work to communicate when working from home ,so its actually a pain .

 

[Tom]

As do i, however we put out warnings company wide to make sure this s**t was in order before the switch.

We are moving to a lync server soon so im not overly bothered long term.

 

[Kane.]

U got cam?

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

U got cam?

This. only reason I grew up to become a pervy little f*ck.

 

[McGherkin]

Lol, only reason I use it these days is to abuse DanEdser and occasionally send files over. (or for remote assistance, but I normally use Teamviewer for that)

 

[...]

the reson i have not seen one single warning is i never ever use the hotmail account linked to my msn/windows live messanger account .....

​why would i need to log into hotmail , i have my own mailserver .

 

[levaz]

you should be able to log into hotmail (or outlook as it now is) and retrieve your msn contact list, including twitter / fb / skype contacts if you've synced the accounts.

I f**king love Skype. It's one of the best things to ever be invented for communication, along with Whatsapp. I do miss the good old MSN days though . Adium has the rest of the bases covered for me.

[McGherkin]

[JP83]

Another shout for teamviewer for remote support. Brilliant tool!

 

[BatFastard]

Used to have great fun in Teamviewer at work viewing people play our gamblers in the bookies. So quick and easy to use!
