The Skype Windows 8 update comes on the tail end of a busy
week for Microsoft's in-house team of app developers. Microsoft pushed out
updates for their official Windows 8 Mail, Calendar and People apps
earlier this week with a number of new features. It also updated the Xbox Games app, along with the free Solitaire, Mahjong and Minesweeper
games. The Xbox Video and Xbox Music Windows 8 apps got new versions as well. Left out in
the cold, at least for now, are the Bing developed Maps, News, Finance, Sports
and Travel Windows 8 apps.
