Msn messenger shuts down on March 15th.
At that date, the windows live Messenger client will cease to function and you will be told to migrate to skype. The actual protocol will continue to function for skype and multiprotocol clients such as pidgin but microsoft will gradually shut down the two system components that powers the msn messenger chat protocol by the end of this year.
