Microsoft ending support for classic Skype (version 7) N̶o̶v̶e̶m̶b̶e̶r̶ ̶1 January 8

Still working here :stuck_out_tongue:

With all my heart, I HATE SKYPE, Especially incoming call ringtone BOO - BAA - BOOO - | | - BAA - BOO - BAAA.
Enjoy a 1hr ringtone until you’ll hate it.

Does anybody hate Skype?

To be honest, that call ringtone give me nostalgia.

Cool you want to drive a thread off-course because of bias. Haven’t seen that in a while. :stuck_out_tongue:

i love the old skype ringtone. the new one sucks

Yup got the same issue, tried gazillion different version already.

Till now the only way to continue using Skype 7 will only work for a very few users.
You can create a new shortcut for skype,
and then add username and pass to the target rule.
That way some users still manage to login.
However this method only works if you have an official skype ID.
It wont work with mail .

Well since pretty much all decent IM clients are kinda dying.
There isn’t really much else that is better if you depend on im.

The only real issue i’m having with skype 8 is the lack of features.
And the most important feature it lacks is separate chat windows.
Also the performance of the new client is terrible.

I have never liked skype as an application, it’s too bloated and not enough simplicity. They should bring a new protocol for a client like MSN Messenger with useful features and no ads.

if you didnt logged out you can still login on skype classic.but the version is already malfunctioning like you cant add new contacts etc.

i think the end is coming by the end of the month of the next (may)

Skype web time ;p

who cares about skype,here we dont have yet wlm 14.x

besides skype is not a trend anymore.

The new skype client and viber i believe are based,
on exact the same code base lol.
Viber most likely doesn’t has split screen view either.

Argentina is Whatsapp all the way.

OK, MS just shot itself in the foot. Skype will be uninstalled and it’s Facebook Messenger from now on.
