| Upgrading MSN to Skype issues.
So I finally upgraded my MSN to Skype.
After doing so, my MSN got deleted, and now I can't find were to open the Skype application.
I assume all my contacts are now gone as well??
I had skype before as a separate application well before this MSN merging to Skype thing.
So What's the difference between that application and the "MSN upgraded to Skype" version?
And lastly... how do I even download Skype?
I'm at this site Download Skype on your computer - Mac, Windows, Linux - Skype
And whenever I click the "Get Skype for Windows 8" link, it takes me to a new page that does nothing...  |

at the login menu for skype you get the option to use your msn account to login and merge with your skype account.

You can find lots of old applications at
oldversion.com
I feel Skype is so inferior. Even the fact that I can't change font colour is annoying.
It's sometimes hard to tell between my own msgs and my friend's msgs when I'm scanning quickly.
