We totally share the views in this ultimatum from TechCrunch: Skype, Get Your Shit Together Skype December 23, Same experience on 7 professional Dimitar Bakardzhiev December 20, 2014Ĭlearly the team at TechCrunch had similar issues and they were also vocal in expressing their frustration.

But when we upgraded our equipment to Windows 8.1, Skype had significant deficiencies especially for using it from the app-side of the operating system: Significant delays in pushing messages, users are in constant catch-up mode as Skype-chat-threads fail to refresh in a timely manner.īack in December 2004, I called out Skype on these issues.
