Download Skype for Windows 6.2 build 106

Skype has released version 6.2 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.

Skype has created links to the Microsoft and Facebook accounts to allow chatting with Windows Live and Facebook users. It is not yet possible to have conversations, but we are working on it. In version 6.2 the taskbar in the program has been renewed and calling credit can be given as a gift on the birthday of a contact. In addition, support for older processors has been dropped, but despite that, the download has grown from 20MB to almost 30MB.

Changes in comparison with previous release:

• New top toolbar with all major actions together in one place.
• Send eGift to friend who has a birthday
• Added option to send IM with ctrl+enter.
• Computers with Intel Pentium 3 or similar CPU’s, which do not support SSE2 instructions, are not supported anymore.

Fixed issues:

• Profile: Profile country setting did not get saved
• Accessibility: Some fields in incoming contact requests were not accessible.
• Add contact: Adding a contact window was misplaced on multi-monitor setup
• File sending: Changing received file name removed file extension.
