1st September Microsoft is killing support for Skype version 7 (known as Skype Classic). By killing I mean it will stop working on the Skype network.
The new version 8 for all platforms has had ferocious negative feedback. From terrible unusable UI, to missing facilities from version 7, to lost contacts & history, non connections, unable to sign in with version 7 Skype account and forcing you to have a Microsoft account or Office 365 account then you can use your Skype user name, the list of negativity is extensive.
I briefly, unintentionally, tried Version 8 last year when it was first released, HATED it.
Skype new version 8 what a S**T load of rubbish
But now as off Sept 1st we will have no choice but to upgrade. Being a macOS & Apple iOS user with MS Windows contacts I need a cross platform VOIP program. Am thinking of swapping to Viper and persuading others in my contacts to do the same.
