[EN]: Microsoft has confirmed the shutdown of the Windows Live Messenger service to its 100+ million users via email. On March 15th, the service will be retired and users (except the ones in mainland China) will be forced to use Skype.

Users can migrate their WLM accounts to the Skype service by logging in with their Microsoft account.

In the email, the company stated that users signing in with WLM on their PCs after March 15 will not be able to, and will just see a notification to upgrade. If users continue to try to use Messenger, they will see the option to simultaneously install Skype and uninstall WLM automatically.

[ES]: Microsoft ha confirmado el cierre del servicio Windows Live Messenger a sus más de 100 millones de usuarios a través de correo electrónico. El 15 de marzo, el servicio será retirado y los usuarios (excepto los de China continental) se verán obligados a utilizar Skype.

Los usuarios pueden migrar sus cuentas de WLM al servicio de Skype al acceder con su cuenta de Microsoft.

En el correo electrónico, la compañía declaró que los usuarios que inicien la sesión con WLM en sus computadoras después del 15 de marzo no serán capaces de hacerlo, y sólo verán una notificación de actualización. Si los usuarios continúan tratando de utilizar Messenger, ellos podrán ver la opción de simultaneamente instalar Skype y desinstalar WLM automáticamente.
