Microsoft on Tuesday in an email to Outlook.com customers revealed that within "the next couple of weeks" it will drop support for Facebook and Google chats in Outlook.com.
The Redmond giant in an email (via Twitter user Chris Lindhartsen) said, "Within the next couple of weeks, we will be discontinuing support for Facebook chat in Outlook.com." Unfortunately, the company did not mention the reason to discontinue the integration with Facebook chat.
In the case of Google, Microsoft cited discontinuation of chat protocol used by the Google Talk platform in the shift to Google Hangouts as the reason for dropping support. The email said, "And due to Google's decision to discontinue the chat protocol used by the Google Talk platform, we can no longer provide Google Chat in Outlook.com."
