Skype for Windows 8 now available to download

Microsoft just couldn’t wait until the 26th to release Skype for Windows 8 to the world. Today the long awaited arrival of Skype for Microsoft’s new OS has finally arrived. Skype is available to download in the Windows Store now for free.

Earlier this week we showed you a preview of Skype for Windows 8, check that out for a full rundown of features. The Skype app has everything you’ve come to expect from the desktop client, but in a new modern UI. Skype is available to download on Windows 8 and Windows RT now, and if you’re running the RTM build you should be able to try it out too.
