Skype for windows 8? No thanks!

If you need to install skype on a windows 8 machine…. DON’T INSTALL THE MICROSOFT SUGGESTED VERSION

You’ll waist a lot of time…  you :

• can’t work with resized chat window
• can’t send file attachments (no drag & drop of file, to send button… nothing)

and you will only work in 3 different desktop modes:

• full screen
• 1/3 screen
• 2/3 screen
