Skype to adopt 'Metro' design, says report

The next version of the Skype client may tap into the "Metro" design and let users send prerecorded video messages to each other, says The Verge.

Released last week, Skype's latest 5.11 beta version already ties in more closely with Microsoft. Users can log into Skype via their Microsoft account and access information from Live Messenger, Xbox, Hotmail, and Outlook.com.

Not all that surprised since Microsoft bought Skype

The website has been partially updated, do you get redirected to the beta.skype.com?

I tried to install the a beta version, but you can over-install the current release without uninstalling.

I do like the WLM integration, but I still don't use Skype as much as any other software.

No, i still get http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/home but if i type in beta.skype.com i still go to the regular link

Must be a regional thing, anyway I uninstalled 5.10 and installed the beta from FileHippo.com.

I think i like the beta page better then the one now, its simpler
