If you read the Ars article, you'll see that they asked Microsoft and Microsoft 
confirmed that the network itself will continue to run untill at least match 
2014, and most third party clients will most likely work untill then. It's some 
of the official clients that will stop working.

Quoting from the article:
==
«We asked Microsoft about its plans and what would happen to these various 
clients. The company tells us that contrary to the previous reports, the 
Messenger service /isn't/ being retired on March 15th. That date does represent 
the /start/ of the transition away from Messenger, but the service is set to 
operate for some time yet.
On March 15th, the Windows Messenger client will be blacklisted and unable to 
connect to the network, informing users that they must install the Skype client 
instead. The Skype client will continue to connect to the Messenger network (as 
it does presently) and will allow communication with Messenger users.»
«Other clients, however, should be unaffected and will continue to connect just 
fine. »
