With the imminent demise of Microsoft Messenger (25th March 2013), which we have used for a number of years without any problems, we have made the upgrade to using Microsoft Skype. This being the product that Microsoft brought in and has decided to replace the ‘old’ Messenger service.
The upgrade went clean enough and the ‘old’ Messenger software was successfully uninstalled.. Now to see how it measures up.
Noticed the upgrade tried to ‘push’ the use of Bing, and MSN as a homepage in the browser, which can be easily overlooked, but somehow one expects that!
Now to see how it works in practise.
Addresses etc. remain unchanged, so current contacts should all continue to work.
