It is now available for download the Skype application for Windows 8, with Microsoft having stated it would be unvailed in time for Friday's launch of Windows 8, the Redmond software company has made it possible to download ahead of schedule. As of now, customers running the preview version of Windows 8 can download the Skype application from the Microsoft store. For those planning to upgrade on Friday also will be able to resume their Skype activities.
This Skype version is compatible with both Windows 8 flavours (Windows RT and Windows 8 for desktop), I first saw a glimpse of the new Skype app earlier this week, and I was fairly surprised by what I saw. It’s one of the most beautifully crafted apps announced for the upcoming OS so far, considering it’s made by Microsoft, I was expecting nothing less.
Testers of the new OS have responded with positive feedback on Windows 8, but prior to the releases, those focusing on Microsoft’s progress were confused by its decision to pay such a large sum for an app like Skype. The software and technology is currently being packed into everything Microsoft sells, and with a decent-looking desktop and RT app to kick Windows 8 off with, Microsoft will be looking to make a return on its gigantic investment.
Skype for Xbox will also arrive soon as Microsoft tries to fuse it's console into the all-rounder, when the Windows Phone 8 is finally released, consumers will have many different ways to communicate with their friends and family via Skype.
