Update or shut up: Microsoft's choice for desktop Skypers

Re: Another Cloud con

There's no way I'd used Skype app on Windows system as this would require that I've unblocked network access for all crApps (thanks MS for making this so difficult). The only acceptable solution for me is an iPhone app as MS does not control the platform (and Skype is not getting access to contacts). Obviously legacy account, no way I'd signed up for MS account (especially now that it required providing phone number). I bet MS will let this continue as they won't completely give up on users from major platform. And for now the desktop application for Windows 7 runs just fine on Windows 10 (not that I used it much or set it to launch automatically), just use proper browser so download page is not making fuss.
