Skype, first screenshots and details of the new universal app Windows 10

A short distance from the official announcement of the arrival of the new universal app for Skype for Windows 10, there's interesting platform indiscretions with the spread of the first screenshots and some info on the features included in the release is currently under development. To disclose it is the Thurrot.com site.

At the time, the source points out, the proven version works only with the build of Redstone Windows 10, or with newer versions that can be accessed participants in the Windows Insider program and, of course, members of the Microsoft development team. This circumstance suggests that the release of the new app will not be forthcoming and that, probably, could not take place before new major release of Windows 10.

The improved stability, as one might expect from a build in testing (reported a few crashes during the period of use) el'app not yet supports responsive design, but it is said that Microsoft does not correct such failure with subsequent releases. For the moment, the features included in the app faithfully reproduce those integrated in the desktop application, from which it differs only by the format adopted which is based on the Universal Windows Platform Windows 10.

Although users of a stable version of Windows 10 will have to reckon with a wait not properly contained to use the new UWP Skype, the Insider users may start doing it much earlier. It is possible that Microsoft will take advantage of the BUILD 2016, at the start from tomorrow (March 30), to release the first public build of the new Skype app within the Windows Insider program.

It is hoped that the new change of direction with respect to the previously adopted commercial policy about Skype is that decisive. Microsoft's new plan is to transfer all functions integrated in the desktop Skype in 10 new universal Windows app.

Max Q: Anomalous

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Last week wasn’t the most successful for spaceflight missions. We’ll get into that a bit more below. In this issue: First up, a botched launch from Virgin Orbit… …followed by one from ABL Space Systems News from Rocket Lab, World View and more Virgin Orbit’s botched launch highlights shaky financial future After Virgin Orbit’s launch failure last Monday, during which the mission experienced an  “anomaly” that prevented the rocket from reaching orbit, I went back over the company’s financials — and things aren’t looking good. For Virgin Orbit, this year has likely been completely turned on its head. The company was aiming for three launches this year, but everything will remain grounded until the cause of the anomaly has been identified and resolved. It’s unclear how long that will take, but likely at least three months. Add this delay to Virgin’s dwindling cash reserves and you have a foundation that’s suddenly much shakier than before. ...
