Microsoft’s Skype team doesn’t want to try to remedy the disparity between its touch-friendly version of Skype and the desktop app. Instead, they’ll be killing off the Windows 8 version starting next month. If you’re downloading the app starting July 7, you’ll be redirected to the download page of the desktop version. This news, however, won’t affect the Windows Phone app and those using Windows RT tablets. Although, this could also mean the app won’t be getting updates in the future.
