Hey guys, if I  remember well there is also the option to use the Microsoft account as a Skype name. I think in this case your contacts will see live: followed by the username, without any

I actually didn't find otu about the change until about 2016. If you check the archives for this list which were transferred over you will find the conversation. I can't remember the thread now, but

i agree Sarah, when they did that, it was definitely something that turned me away from Skype.

You are right.  That does suck!

There will be no windows 11. I heard that this is it for Microsoft. They are just going to be releasing major upgrades to windows 10 like the fall creator. The winter creator should be coming out

Sounds pretty bad. Should we wait for Windows 11? :-) Some people say that Windows 10 is good enough for the blind, but at least these discussions about Skype make me keep Windows 7 as much as

Skypes go under the 32-bit version of Program Files. Skype 7 goes in Skype\Phone and Skype 8 goes in Microsoft\Skype for Desktop. For this reason, I didn't expect problems trying to switch between
