Keep Using Windows Live Messenger In 2013 Without Being Forced To Use Skype dwergs says ( 19 May 2013 ):
Windows Live Messenger is dead. Officially.
But you can still use it! Thanks to our friend Jonathan Kay who found a workaround to revive it.
Messenger Reviver 2 is a patch that allows you to keep using Windows Live Messenger without being forced to switch to Skype. We tested it today, and it works!
"Messenger Reviver 2 automatically installs, repairs and/or modifies Windows Live Messenger 2012, 2011, 2009, and 2008 as well as Windows Messenger to continue signing in despite being blocked by Microsoft."

R.I.P. Windows Live Messenger (1999-2013) dwergs says ( 10 Jan 2013 ):
Hello? Is this thing on?
SO THIS IS IT.
Starting April 8 2013, Microsoft will gradually pull the plug on Windows Live Messenger, formerly known as MSN Messenger.
As an alternative, Skype has been made fully compatible with your Messenger account. It will probably take a few months before all users are migrated.
