Donderdag heeft Skype de tweede patchlevel voor versie 4.1 van zijn voip-client voor Windows vrijgegeven. Met Skype is het mogelijk om door middel van tekst, spraak of beeld, of een combinatie daarvan, over een internetverbinding met andere Skype-gebruikers te communiceren. In versie 4.1 is daar de mogelijkheid om de desktop met de gesprekspartner te delen aan toegevoegd. Verder is het nu nog makkelijker om nieuwe contacten van externe bronnen, zoals bijvoorbeeld GMail, Hotmail, Yahoo en AOL, te importeren en is er verder aan de kwaliteit van spraak en video gesleuteld. In versie 4.1.0.166 zouden de volgende problemen tot het verleden moeten behoren:
