DNP Apple reportedly pulling the plug on Messages beta for OS X Lion on December 14th 2012

Apple is notifying OS X Lion users that the platform’s preview of Messages will end on December 14th. Originally available as a free beta download for Lion 10.7, Messages went on to become an official feature of Mountain Lion 10.8.
