Skype retires - Il Giornale


“We feel on Skype”, in fact it has been so much that I don’t hear him say, but knowing that Microsoft will close it puts me sad. For heaven’s sake, they are right, the needs change and communicate in a different way and also Microsoft will focus on Teams, much more advanced that will incorporate the functions of Skype adding others, such as the organization of calendars, the creation of free communities and much more.

Skype was born in 2003 and was bought by Microsoft in 2011 and will be withdrawn on May 5th. Users will have the opportunity to migrate for free on Teams, also importing all Skype chats, and in the meantime, until the closing date, they will be able to continue chatting and calling themselves with Skype users still not passed to Teams, so it is not a tragedy.

However I don’t know, it will be because we have many memories with Skype, it will be that like Sheldon Cooper I don’t like changes, even a shop that closes where I never went

melancholy, and feeling that there will no longer be Skype has the effect of when you know that a person who has not felt for some time, and who perhaps believed dead, really died. Of course after a while you don’t think about it anymore. Farewell Skype, it was nice.
