    Around these parts in the 2000s, MSN Messenger was what literally everyone used. Then Microsoft bought Skype and decided to shut down MSN Messenger. Then they also ruined Skype. Microsoft just can’t do anything right despite making so much money. It’s like they have no long term vision.

      I would say this heavily depends on the region. In Germany, I knew nobody who used MSN, everyone only used ICQ.

        That’s why I said around these parts. Back then there was a lot more regional fragmentation.
