Hi: Another reason for their decission to stop supporting the Skype Kit could be that they cannot make it work with Windows 8.1 and therefore they are assuming that it will not work with any future versions of Windows such as Windows 9. Also, there were a lot of things which did not work such as Video calling. At any rate, Window-eyes will hold a webinar this Thursday about using Window-eyes with the latest version of Skype.
