Comment (by BW~Merlin):

 I believe that the MSN protocol is currently what handles the instant
 messaging side of skype.  My understand is that MSN messenger is going and
 will simply be replaced with skype and that because skype instant
 messaging is already handles by the MSN protocol not much will really
 change.
