I already have a Skype acct which I use for one person only.  I have and DON'T use Messenger.  Never have, never will.  I didn't even want it but I had to take it because it was automatically added when I got Windows Live.  BTW, I have Skydrive too which I didn't want either.  Anyway, since I already have a Skype account that IS NOT associated with Messenger, what do I need to do to make sure I don't have problems with my Skype account when Microsoft tries to make my Messenger experience...which I don't use, don't want..."better".  How can I keep it from messing up my existing Skype account?  All I want to do is use my Skype account without a whole lot of hassels and problems.  Can't they just leave it alone for those of us who won't use all the bells and whistles and don't want all their accounts in one place.
