Oh wow, I updated Skype on my Windows 10 machine just tonight, I didn't expect that change by Microsoft...
Bye! Barbuz

This is really good news.
It sounds like they’ve gotten some seriously negative feedback on the new
version.
I’ve even heard from people with sight that don’t like it.
Long Live Skype Classic.

You might as well just go for it, as it is unclear from that
article just how much back Microsoft has moved that deadline for
conversion.

In my guess Microsoft will extend the deadline until April 2019! With regards from Inamuddin with the Skype ID: Charlsdarwin1

Quick question.� If they have brought it back, does this mean that they are going to support it or just pull a fast one later on?

new version of Skype really sucks, and is hard to use with
screenreaders regardless if you have any type of impairment

Great! Let's hope MS will keep Skype Classic at
least until it will appear Windows 11.

I did as well, and they have, for the mac version anyway, no matter what people say, it’s grate. I wish they would just kill skype 7 as 8 is plenty accessible and much much faster.

Not true. I use it every day for my streams and my jobs. It is 100 percent accessible and usable and just takes geting used to, so give it a chance.

I'd have to agree. I've found skype to be just as accessible and just as usable. the interface took some getting used to, but, once I got the hang of it, I found i liked it.
