Skype for Windows 8 has been designed to allow you see who has contacted you at any time, so the app in Windows 8 will always run in the background. “You’ll be able to receive voice and video calls and chats even if you’ve navigated away to another app or to the desktop, enabling you to stay more connected with your contacts whatever you’re doing.” Stated the blog.
