As a follow through to this, it has integrated its instant messaging software product, Windows Messenger with it’s hugely popular VoIP service Skype, thus allowing users to chat with their Messenger contacts on Skype. This means that users will be able to sign into Skype using their Messenger IDs. For this, users will have to update to the latest version of Skype to see an integrated list of contacts.
