Skype on Windows 10

Windows 10 is now 12 days away.  Members of the Windows Insiders Program have received the final version 2 weeks early.  This version is very stable and looks great.  There is a change that you should be aware of though - Skype.

Windows 8 users have been using the Skype "Universal" app and with Windows 10 that is going away.  It is replaced by the Skype desktop app.  It will be downloadable, for free, from the Windows app store.  The interface will be different than what you are used to but it comes with more features. For example, the desktop version makes it easier to send files and videos to a contact.

If you are currently a Windows 7 user the desktop app will feel like a nice upgrade to what they are already using.
