Microsoft has announced that Windows Live Messenger, which started life as MSN Messenger, will be folded into Skype. The company acquired Skype in 2011 but is only now starting to integrate it into Windows, Windows Phone, Office and its online services. The move consolidates two overlapping products, which should ultimately benefit users. Users can already merge their Skype contact lists with their Microsoft accounts and message contacts across the two clients.
