If I recall correctly, the full transition from Messenger to Skype is scheduled to take between April 8 and April 30, so I'm not surprised that Messenger still works. America and other English clients are said to be the first to go, however, so it could happen over the course of the next few days.
The date for transition to skype was April 8th as the shut down date to messenger. It's now April 12th but still low and behold Messenger is working. I'd have to say that the complaints are doing something as messenger was intended to end in March, but didn't. Why? Honestly I can't say lol.
Now I know nothing about April 30th being the final date, but I'll just have to wait until then to see if we can still log in. All American Messenger servers were going down on April 8th so now I'm hoping they have reconsidered.
Time will tell though.
and honestly I'm not sure if it will have any effect or not, but putting it out there can't hurt even in this process of the stage. Maybe it will be in phases, maybe something got set back who knows...I have yet to read anything else past the April 8th date though which strikes me as odd.
As for petitions you would think there would be more, which makes me curious if there is others out in the wide web that are doing the same and it's all just spread out, because such a low number really doesn't add up with how many complaints have been filed on the Skype transition you know.
