“Everything about this new version, from the underlying performance improvements to the usability enhancements, is designed to keep you connected to the people who matter most. “There comes a time when we must shut down older services and application versions,” the explanation continues. The most obvious of which is a multi-window mode that lets you access each conversation in its own window. Let’s all pause for a moment of silence here since this new Skype version does not include all of the functionality of the desktop application it is replacing. “We are encouraging everyone to upgrade now to avoid any inconvenience as only Skype version 8.0 will work after September 1, 2018.” “Today, we are rolling out an updated version of Skype (version 8.0) for desktop that will replace Skype version 7.0 (also known as Skype classic),” the Skype team notes in a blog announcement.
Well, today I received some bad news: This upgrade is part of a forced upgrade cycle that will conclude on September 1, when Microsoft officially ends support for what the software giant calls Skype Classic. Over the weekend, I noticed that the desktop version of Skype was being offered an upgrade, across all my PCs, that replaced that app with the modern version.
