Microsoft to Kill the Messenger, Supplant It With Skype After buying Skype last year, Microsoft has decided to put it to good use as a replacement for Windows Live Messenger. "The end result is you get something that's more universal than what you had before and with quite more capability," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.

Apple posted a statement to its UK website, but it was apparently not what the three-judge appeals panel had in mind. The proclamation has one paragraph about Samsung's non-infringement of Apple's registered design, but it follows up with some other content that irked the UK justices. One paragraph, for example, lifted from a lower court rul
