[NF] Microsoft to drop 'Modern' version of Skype in Windows 10

Just in case you ever got into difficulties trying to share screens

with another client, who turned out to have the 'wrong' version of

Skype and you had to try to explain the 'right' and the 'wrong'

versions.

I suspect every vendor: Google with Chromebooks and Android, Apple

with OS X and IOS and a number of Linux variants, are having trouble

separating their products.

Mobile gadgets (phones & tablets) are gaining phenomenally in

capabilities, battery power and CPU, and they're starting to overlap

with low-end laptops and desktops, but there's still a gap. MS choose

to ignore the gap and shoot for an OS that's not going to be fully

useful for a couple of years. Considering their slow pace of release,

that might be their best bet. We live in interesting times.
