Skype

Microsoft has made available a new version of Skype for Windows, which brings a better toolbar as well as the ability to send a gift of credit to anyone they care about.

Skype for Windows 6.2 comes with a new toolbar that brings together main actions. For example, users can now have easy access to Home, Calling Phones, Creating Groups and Adding Contacts, which will be seen above their contact list and recent conversations. On top of that, Microsoft has made it so that users can now send a gift of credit to their friends or loved ones. For example, when you receive a birthday notification, you can choose to send that person credit. Microsoft has also added the option to send an Instant Message by hitting CTRL + ENTER on your keyboard, as well as removed support for PCs with Pentium 3 processors.

Radu Tyrsina

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
