Microsoft Messes With a Winning Formula
In 2017, Microsoft propelled another form of Skype intended to interest a more youthful segment. This end up being fairly dubious, as most of Skype clients are more seasoned and not especially inspired by stickers and emoticons.
Or maybe typically, this drove a few clients to stay with Skype 7.0. In July 2018, Microsoft propelled Skype 8.0 and expressed that every past adaptation would quit working inside weeks. Clients properly griped, and Microsoft yielded. In any case, not for long.
The End Is Nigh for Skype Classic
