Not to scare anyone, but since I am a technical person, I'd like to know the details preventing WE from working with the metro Skype app; after all, I bought Windows 8 so that I could join this new world of apps; this has not happened yet. What is really going on here? But anyway, what exactly is it that prevents WE from working with even the regular Skype Client? Steve, you mentioned that it's something on Skype's end. I would assume that it's the custom control used in the application, for if it were just a matter of things not being labeled, then that could have been fixed via a WE script a long time ago. Am I right about that? Or are their true limits to how far WE scripts can take us?

Can't read mail on the Windows 8 Mail app and I can't find anyone who can tell me how. ----- Original Message ----- From: Katherine Moss<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2012 1:42 PM Subject: How's the support coming for Modern interface apps on Windows 8? Hello all, I am a user and lover of Windows 8. That's not to say that WE 8 doesn't seem to have it's problems though. I have noticed this mostly on the metro side of things. For instance adding an account to People is impossible using WE because WE doesn't read things properly in the dialog that comes up when you click add another account. I'd appreciate it if this were fixed. I also have trouble seeing everyone on the messaging app as well as answering and writing messages because I cannot tell whether a message was sent or not. The edit field never clears. Also Skype doesn't work either with WE 8, and it would be nice to be able to use the official Skype client with no need for scripts or alternate clients.
