In the meantime Microsoft is encouraging its desktop users (Windows & Mac) to download the latest version of Skype (at least version 6) which will allow the user to log in using their MSN/Live account. At the first successful login, Skype will ask the user whether they want to merge their Messenger account with their existing Skype account, or create a new, separate Skype account based on their Microsoft login.
