Skype recently announced a new version of its VoIP software, Skype 5.5.0.117 whichsupports Windows 8.
Microsoft officials said relatively little about Skype during last week’s Build conference, which was for developers interested in writing apps and building hardware for Windows 8. However, Istartedsomething.com noted that Microsoft may be counting on making Skype integration a key piece of Windows 8, citing a screen shot showing a Metro tile featuring missed phone calls.
Microsoft announced last May that it will acquire Skype for $8.5 billion dollars, then transform the provider of VoIP software and services into a business division headed by Skype CEO Tony Bates. Skype will support Microsoft products such as Windows Phone, Outlook, and Kinect, and integrate with Microsoft’s already extensive communications portfolio, which includes services such as Lync and Messenger, the companies announced at the time.
