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 (http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/)

And whenever I click the "Get Skype for Windows 8" link, it takes me to a new page that does nothing...

:fulloffuck:

LOL I clicked on "Get Skype for Windows desktop", took me to another page that says
"Start using your shiny new Skype

Thanks for downloading, now check out our quick setup
guide to get started."

I cancelled the downloaded.. haha

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

I didn't upgrade, I just set MSN to run under Windows 2000 mode and it doesn't ask me to upgrade. :lol

now the question is where can u find the latest setup file for the newest version of msn?

and also will this method last forever?

edit: i just tried, it still asks me to update lol. whatever already merged months ago. it just takes some getting used to.

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.
