Download Skype for Windows 5.9 build 123

Skype has released an update to version 5.9 of its VoIP client for Windows. With Skype it is possible to communicate with other Skype users by means of text, speech or image, or a combination thereof, via an internet connection. It is also possible to set up a video conference call with a maximum of ten people, but there is a Premium Subscription required. Furthermore, the Facebook News Feed is integrated into the program and there is Skype Home, a place where you can indicate your mood, change your profile and find new contacts. In version 5.9, among other things, a screenshot of the video can be taken, there is an opt-out option for automatic updates and various problems have been fixed. This update aims to fix issues with the Windows 8 Release Preview, where it consumed an unnecessarily large amount of computing power.
