and why can't I see a 'chat' icon anywhere?
Am I automatically logged-in to messenger if my hotmail page is open?
Does it have to be open to be 'live' on messenger?

When Windows Live Messenger is officially retired sometime in 2013, what does that mean ?

Will all versions of the Messenger client...

   ...  not be able to Logon ?

 ... not see their Contacts ?

 ... not be able to send and receive text-based IM messages ?

Or does it mean that the software will not be updated after that, but any Accounts still "living in the old Messenger world" will still be able to talk to each other using IM ?

Thanks

I wanted to update to Skype but it says Skype is blocked?

When a person "migrates" from Live Messenger to Skype, what happens to the Categories that were used in the Messenger system ?

Does Skype have a "Category" process ?

Thanks.
