Interesting move from Microsoft considering MSN Messenger. Obviously seeing Skype ain't making too much money it must be for the user base.

Well, this does seem a little bit of an odd move, considering that (in Ireland anyway) MSN seems to be king of the hill as regards messenging. I guess it's different elsewhere but everyone I come across locally uses MSN, yet most don't have Skype installed. Maybe they just want to merge the two into one massive worldwide messenger network? Seamlessly using MSN and Skype in the one application is somewhat appealing...
