In July, Microsoft announced that in September it will stop supporting the "classic" desktop application Skype. Users were asked to install a new version 8. 0 with a radically redesigned design, which, after the appearance in the autumn of 2017, caused delight not all.

Having listened to the "customer reviews", the company decided to "wait" for a while with the termination of the support of the classic version, while "all the features you asked for" will be added to Skype 8. This is reported by The Verge with a link to the blog Thurrot. com.

The announcement was made by the representative of the company in the comments to the record, in which the closure of the "old" Skype was announced. After its initial publication under it appeared dozens of indignant comments, in which users demanded to leave classic Skype alone.

Recall, the new Skype 8 contains a bright design, built-in viewing of YouTube videos and "gifok", stickers and other fashion features.

For example, users can choose the color for their messages (pink, blue or orange), and also, without sending a response message, react to messages of interlocutors with the help of emoji. Moreover, reactions in the form of emoji are also available during video calls - then a giant icon for a short time is superimposed over the caller picture.

Most of the place on the screen is a dialog box, and the list of chats and the search string are located in the left sidebar. At the same time, there is no such habitual opportunity for many as the simultaneous display of several windows with different chats.
