New Delhi: Microsoft has released its Skype for Windows 7.0, complete with a more touch-friendly interface, and a new compact mode to help cut down on the screen space the app consumes.
Microsoft said in its final release that it had included a new compact view in response to the feedback from users.
The company said that the update can be found under both "View" as well as Tools>Options>IM Settings options.
The other change Microsoft made to the final version of Skype 7 is that it's now touch-enabled.
Additionally, Skype and Lync can finally talk to one another. Skype users can call Lync contacts, and vice versa.
Microsoft paid $8.5 billion for Skype in May 2011.
