Will we be forced to use/upgrade to Skype if we continue to use MSN messenger? And if yes, how so?

 

Original title: Msn to Skype Switch           

Why am I getting Microsoft emails to get me to sign up for Skype. It is free! Getting this frre download stitches me into a billing account for something Ineither want nor need! More importantly, though they hardly use MSN anymore, I'm having to warn my children away from this mad marketing ploy too.
What will happen to the Messenger experience on the Bing toolbar once Messenger has gone away?

Is there an age restriction on merging Skype-Messenger contacts? I am not yet 18 but want to merge accounts.

What will happen to the Messenger experience in Outlook.com when people are migrated starting on April 8?

What will happen once Messenger goes away? Will I still be able to sign into Messenger?

In November of 2012, it was announced that it would retire in the middle of March. Recently, I have received e-mails telling me to "upgrade" to skype by today. However, when does Microsoft actually plan to make Windows Live Messenger no longer functional outside of China?

Today (April 8, 2013), while using the web-based people.live.com, logged in, and in the top-right corner, I see ...
Connected to Skype-icon.

    That is, the Skype (white S in blue cloud) icon shows up in that area.

 

I just wanted to verify what that indicates.

 

I realize the full-function WLM (Windows Live Messenger) client is scheduled to stop working today.  (My understanding).

 

So we can continue to use the web-based IM at people.live.com  (for some time...?).

 

So I should be able to see and have IM conversations with all my "Messenger" IM contacts just like before, even if they have "migrated to Skype".

Because from my veiwpoint, at people.live.com, they are still just the same old Messenger IM contacts.

Is that correct so far ?

 

Therefore, does the --Connected to Skype-- indicate that I can also have IM conversations with native Skype contacts ?

 

Will all Skype users be required to have a "Microsoft account" soon ?

 

Will Skype Q/A be a Product here at answers.microsoft.com ?

 

Thanks.

I have been automatically updated to Outlook.com. I have tried following the steps to remove old status but it wont allow me to go back to Hotmail. Any suggestions on how to now remove my old status's from my Outlook. I have tried all to find a solution but there doesnt seem to be one for new Outlook.
