Knowing Microsoft, they don't bluff about things and usually force it through at people. I'm already using Skype as well, but it sucks for those I need to talk to that don't have it and those who don't log on often (like 5 times a month).Mr Color wrote:

Not that it's gonna matter to me, I already only use Skype

Yeah this has been talked about for the last 4-5 months on various websites. Lucky china keeping it
Sucks for me because I really like the msn UI more than skype, but I guess I will have to get used to it (I always use skype for voice chat anyway).

MSN was my favorite client with Messenger Plus! installed (IRC-style text formatting, custom scripts, logs that actually work well) Of course I never updated to the latest client because that thing was horrible, I always stuck with 2009.
Really gonna miss it, especially since Microsoft has been pushing updates to make Skype even worse. Seriously, why would anyone get RID of shading on all their graphics??

You can by logging into Skype with your MSN account.theowest wrote:

looks shady.alucardj646 wrote:
Just to point out...
there is a thing called qq international that has custom emotes and video chats and more
it is a really cool service and is my main replacement for MSN
Though you have to wait before you can make a group because they have a beonlinelongergiveshigherrank thing
which means you have to ask someone who has been on longer to make a group for you or just wait
but still i find it better then msn was
I see what you did there.Miracle Lotus wrote:
Isn't QQ mainly for Chinese people though?alucardj646 wrote:
I thought so at first that it looked shady but i got to like it after i downloaded it
And finding people would be hard XD
You kind of have to invite people to it if you want anyone on it XD which i did and now have a group of friends
But i use MSN,QQ,and skype all at once so its not really a problem XD
If you change your mind i could make a small group for you on it though and transfer ownership of it XD
Pretty much but it still is internationalDulcet wrote:

Skype's "privacy tweak" is somewhat lacking compared to MSN and ICQ. I was looking for options to allow a list of contacts to see me even when Invisible, but nowhere to be found in Skype.Koro McAlpine wrote:
Skype needs a blocking thing for MSN contacts because I can't find it as I right clicked it. Don't y'all agree?
Yeah like... That Skype needs a little work and can do better than that. You know, I have two random people wanting me to chat, so very annoying.Oinari-sama wrote:

I guess it still needs some work in that area.
oh yeah, that's something I actually miss. kind of the reason why I like to chat using steam too.Justykanna wrote:
I know one of my friends preferred MSN because she could tab between chats where as you can't with Skype.
There are plenty of IM softwares that have this feature. I use Trillian, it supports MSN and you can ctrl+tab to switch tabs.Justykanna wrote:

Not directly, but you can replace the default incoming sound by a louder one in Options > Sounds > My Custom Sounds.Justykanna wrote:
I do like Skype aside the fact that the notification sound is way too quiet. If I'm in osu! or watching a show, I'll never hear it. Is there a way to make that sound louder though?
lol I find skype's notification sound too loud and annoying already...Justykanna wrote:

Actually, you can increase JUST Skype's volume and decrease only osu's volume prettty easily, without having all the system noises brought up.Oinari-sama wrote:

Besides what XPJ38 said, you can also increase your system volume while decreasing osu's in game volume (use mousewheel) to give more emphasis to windows notification sound. The drawback is that all notification sound will get louder instead of just Skype.
This trick doesn't work with some laptop volume keys though because they reset individual volumes.Akimari wrote:
