Microsoft discontinues MSN Web Messenger
Microsoft has some bad news for the fans of MSN Web Messenger.
They are discontinuing this service at the end of the month.
The company wants the interested users to use the integrated web messenger from inside Windows Live Hotmail.
Microsoft has also integrated it in their Windows Live People service.
The company said in a statement:
“On June 30, MSN Web Messenger will close; however, customers will continue to have the opportunity to connect with each other using Windows Live Hotmail’s web-based IM, a version of Windows Live Messenger which is accessible through your Windows Live Hotmail account. We made the decision to retire MSN Web Messenger as part of our overall investment in updating and re-aligning our online services under the Windows Live brand. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause our customers.”
June 30 also happens to be the day Microsoft would kill a couple of other services as well. Microsoft Money, Microsoft Encarta, and Windows Live OneCare are going to be discontinued at the end of the current month.

I received an email today asking for my Hot mail password, the country I am in, and my date of birth. They are saying I will lose hotmail forever if I do not submit this information. Is the legitimate??
