Skype For Windows Desktop Comes Out Of Beta

redesigned-skypeSkype for Windows desktop has, at long last, dropped its beta tag in the most recent version, and for those who simply cannot wait to obtain the latest versions, this particular one is ready for download now. It was earlier this month when Microsoft made available a preview version of Skype for Windows as well as Mac OS X to the masses, and in this particular version, there was the introduction of a new user interface that is not too different from that found on Skype’s mobile apps.

Basically, it will follow Microsoft’s modern design language in a close manner, all the while making a throwback to previous years as it looks a wee bit like MSN/Windows Live Messenger. The redesigned version of Skype is touted to deliver an easier way to chat, share as well as check out photos. Users are now able to message and carry out video calls side by side, where group video conversations, too, are now deemed to be free. Apart from that, the emoticons that are used in regular instant messaging have undergone an enlargement process, which ought to make them all the easier to see.

Microsoft has more or less weeded out whatever known bugs that were found in the preview version, including the broken Facebook chat integration issue. All in all, Skype 6.22.81.104 can be downloaded as a freeware, or via the MSI installer, or through the Web installer. [Press Release]
