does anyone know if the messenger app on windows 8.0 does still work?

26

Considering that Messaging used the same servers that hosted the MSNP versions for MSN, since as stated before, Messaging used MSNP22 for communication between the server and users, that’s pretty much dead now.

Skype 8 looks really like a mobile app… What’s next? Mobile Edge on Desktop?

Is someone going to bring the version 7 back after Microsoft ends supporting it?

33

someone here posted 5.5 patched.if he did that then sure he could patch 7 when its retired.

UPDATE: Based on customer feedback, we are extending support for Skype 7 (Skype classic) for some time. Our customers can continue to use Skype classic until then.

No, IIRC Microsoft gave up on Edge months ago and made a Chrome extension to use Windows SmartScreen
