Insane what Microsoft allowed to happen to Skype. Used to be a term synonymous with online voice/video calls and seems like they squandered the whole brand while developing a competing product in Teams. Maybe there's some reasoning I just don't see.

Finally. I've been waiting this for years. I never use Skype, but by default Windows install it and always bugging me at startup.

It's about time. My teams logs still have the word "skype" embedded in them, so it'll never really go away.
