Microsoft announced in Tuesday that it would replace Windows Live Messenger ("MSN") services with Skype services in the first quarter of 2013, while the latter would retire. Tony Betz, CEO of Skype, said on the official blog that the Messenger service would be deactivated in all markets except mainland China.
China's MSN users are now able to successfully transfer to Skype, and can communicate normally. Through Microsoft's official download of Skype support for Simplified Chinese, users can also recharge through credit cards, directly on Skype to call friends or send text messages to friends.
The new Skype client is generally more stylish than MSN, because of the number of users, I believe it will also be more stable than MSN. Since the official English website has been forced to jump to Tom's China website, it is recommended to use SINA technology to provide the download address for the latest client downloads. The following is an upgrade tutorial:
Download the latest Skype app, download it and double-click your downloaded application to install it. The file on the desktop side is about 28M.
After installation, the login interface appears, and you can choose to log in using a Microsoft account.
This is good to use the MSN account login interface, enter your account number and password, click Login can.
Click Continue, or set avatar.
This is the use of MSN login after the situation, similar to MSN. If you want to call a friend, Skype will have a recharge interface.
