Recommended Posts

Microsoft has updated its Windows 8.1 Modern Skype app so that it works better for users interacting with it using mice and keyboards

From All About Microsoft:

Microsoft rolled out a new version of Skype for "Modern" (a k a Metro-Style) Windows 8.1 users on May 7.

Just as the operating system group did recently with Windows 8.1 Update, the Skype team also is focusing on making the app easier to use for those using mice and keyboards.

"...for those using mice and keyboards."

I mean, seriously? Are we just a fucking afterthought now?

Happened with gaming back in around '07, when gaming magazines/sites switched their coverage to consoles, and now Microsoft is jumping ship in favor of tablets/mobiles.

Sounds good!!!

I'm glad that they made the Skype app for Modern UI more user friendly to Desktop Users, too - makes sense to those segment of Desktop Users who choose to not disable the Modern UI (unlike Desktop Users like me who disabled it completely.)

Users of Skype app for Modern UI can download from the following page:--
