Skype on Thursday announced a new redesign for its desktop Windows and OS X applications that puts a new focus on messaging. The team said that it redesigned the applications so that the look and feel of both was also more consistent with what Skype offers for mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets.
And, for once, some of what it can do looks genuinely useful.
The blog post reads, “We’re introducing a new WhatsApp app for Windows that loads faster and is built with an interface similar to the app's mobile version.”
Since the middle of February, customers of AMD graphics cards have been reporting situations in which Windows installations were entirely bricked after installing new drivers.
