I have installed skype with msn - now when I want to use skype/msn I have to first enter my microsoft account email and also the password, its a pain because Im using a home computer and my windows account is password protected. Is there a way to automatically sign in to my microsoft account? Im using windows 7 64 bit.

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
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.

Will Skype automatically transfer e-mail addresses of users who previously used WLM and thus automatically creating skype accounts for them?
Will Skype automatically create account for everyone even for those who don't want to upgrade from WLM?
Or that will not happen untill user sign in to Skype with his WLM account or merging?
Thanks
