It was previously announced that WLM would be officially retired on March 15, 2013 but the new date is April 9, 2013.
And will Windows Live Messenger actually die on April 9? Quite doubtful. A better name might be retirement, or perhaps more accurate is: get a name change.
In the mean time Skype is noting that Skype and Messenger are coming together (very accurate wording indeed!) and…
…Live Messenger is encouraging people to upgrade to the latest version of the Windows Live Messenger client: Skype.
