Yeah, its what Microsoft has said.
Wait - hotmail is cancelled too? I heard about msn, but not about hotmail - where did they say that?
They're just retiring the messenger, not the email service. Microsoft owns Skype so I believe they're trying to have one messenger.
Yeah 
thanks for clarifying! 
thanks for clarifying! I didn't hear anything about that, but MSN is gonna be shut down sometime at the start of next year, thats for certain.
Ah, must be a miscommunication between you and ~Jimma1300 then.
So, now i'm going to lose my email address and now i have to switch to a different email provider
Yeah, pretty much.
I'll have to try Yahoo then
