微软宣布,它打算让即时消息聊天工具MSN“退休”,以Skype取而代之。
18个月前,微软以85亿美元(53亿英镑)收购了Skype。
微软表示,2013年3月在全球(除中国), 将关闭的Windows Live Messenger(MSN)。这个做法反映了微软坚定的决心, 将焦点定位到Skype。
MSN在1999年推出时,被称为MSN Messenger。随着时间的推移,现在MSN可以照片传递, 视频通话,互动游戏和发生文本消息等功能。
2009年,微软公司表示,MSN有330万活跃用户。
重复产品
互联网分析公司ComScore表示,在美国市场,今年年初,MSN用户仍然比Skype多一倍以上,仅次于雅虎通。 报告还指出,较去年同期,MSN用户下降48%,与此相反, Skype用户急剧增多。
“当一家公司有互相竞争的产品,可能导致互侵, 最好的方法就是将其合二为一。”Brian Blau(Gartner顾问公司)说。
“Skype的充值服务提供了机会,让其用户消费而给微软带来利润, 微软还在期待家庭用户起居室里商业机会。在电视平台,或者XBOX游戏机平台,MSN看起来不那么适用, 但Skype却可以。”
他还指出,微软公司已决定将Skype App推出到其新的Windows Phone智能手机。
为了缓解软件转换时造成的联系人丢失问题, 微软将提供一个工具来迁移WLM Messenger联系人。
这种做法其中还是有一定风险的,可能会丢失部分用户, 用户可能选择其竞争对手产品,比如AIM或Google Talk。
微软与FaceBook合作,在社交网络提供Skype视频通话工具,以此招来相当的用户。

One red princeling Hu Shiying posted a photo of a private gathering of China's red princelings, in which a infamous red guard Song Yaowu appeared.
The party was hosted by Xi Jinping, then CCP Party Boss in Zhejiang Province. Others appeared in this photo includes Bo Xicheng (son of Bo Yibo and brother of Bo Xilai), Liu Yuan (son of Liu Shaoqi), Wang Qishan (son in law of Yao Yilin), Yang Li (daughter of Yang Shangkun), Chen Yuan (son of Chen Yun) among others. Song Yaowu is the women 4th from left in the front. Xi Jinping is 3rd from right in the second row.
Song, together with another Red Guard Deng Rong (daughter of Deng Xiaoping), killed their teacher Bian Zhongyun, the first teacher to be killed by students in the Great Cultural Revolution. The incident opened an era when red guards across the country were mobilized to take over schools by violence. Many more teachers would be tortured and killed in the next few years.
One of those from whom Hu Jie got evidence was another teacher at the school, Lin Mang.In the film Lin states that the Red Guards beat Bian Zhongyun in a toilet room. He described one of the perpetrators as a tall, thin girl. Lin also stated in the film that Red Guards forced him to carry Bian's body after her murder.
Based upon subsequent additional credible evidence received,the tall, thin girl who Lin saw beating Bian was Liu Tingting, daughter of Liu Shaoqi, the president of China.
