Google hangouts equivilent?

[cyberpedz]

Hi all so I am looking to move over to Windows phone most likely the Lumia 1020.
I have over the last few days been checking out what apps their are and what is available to replace what I already have on my android phone.

As I have been out of touch with Microsoft for a while I was just wondering if msn messenger was still microsoft's messaging app and their equivalent of googles hangout app? Or if in fact msn messenger is still going?

Skype is the answer

Google wont give us official apps. I cannot. I use Gmail as my primary mail (this can work through) but Hangouts, I need it.

You can also use im+ that supports many protocols, also hangouts! Or the family corner if your friends have wp8 phones.
