Skype Gets Update

Any software that is worth its salt would definitely need a software update from time to time in order to help it keep up with what the general market is looking for, in addition to remaining in front of the rest of the competing pack, if any, while squashing any discovered bugs. The hugely popular VoIP program, Skype, has just received an update that delivers improved video messaging, simplified contact adding on Windows and giving you a far easier time whenever you want to make calls on OS X.

Microsoft rolled out Skype 6.5 for Windows as well as OS X platforms, where video messaging improvements in addition to new features and bug fixes that are specific to individual platforms make up the bulk of it. You are able to be patient and wait for the update mechanism to run itself automatically, or for those whose patience is not their best trait, you can always download the latest version straight from Skype.com. While still in preview, video messaging has been improved, and Microsoft also ensure that these messages are easier to find thanks to improved notifications, similar to the Windows 8 app. Well, what are you waiting for? Get the update already!
