Skype integration in Windows 10

With Windows 10 coming down Skype will be becoming into to a part of the OS itself, both on phones and on the desktop. The new app can now sync its contact book with that of your phone and your email and update will also handle your SMS messages as well along with your Skype messages, which will let you stay in touch even if your friends are using an Android or an Apple product independent of the though Microsoft didn't describe how it would work.

Though coming to the desktop, the app will dig into the task-bar so it’s always handy. It can only send SMS messages using Skype Credit though, while it still seems that it'll be missing the option  to write an SMS on your computer and route it through the phone just like what you can do with an iPhone and a Mac.

Anyway, voice and video calls remain a central part of the Skype experience and will work on all form factors. And due to courtesy of Windows 10, there will be very little setup needed before you start chatting and calling.
