I second Robin. I am having no problems with Skype. I also wish to say that Microsoft is among the more user friendly corporations for the blind that I have found.
I wish to suggest that the email you received was a sham email not generated by Skype, but by a spammer.

Cc: Robin Frost Subject: Re: You need to update Skype. NOT! Hi, My goodness all of this excitement. I'm running the latest build of the program with JFW 16 and though some things have changed all is going just fine. I was able to explore various options, send a chat message to someone and even see where to initiate a call should I have wished to do so and all of that even without being sure I'm running the latest Skype scripts from Doug. Deep cleansing breaths and reasonable thought processes are a good thing. Happy Saturday one and all.

I have never been a big fan of Skype, but the new features in Skype, as advertised in an email message I received having a subject line similar to the above, made it tempting. So, I read further. Apparently, the old Skype will no longer be supported. Being one always willing to jump for the bleeding edge, I gave it a try. In fairness, I didn't try to work with it for very long, but this has to rank right up there with the most inaccessible products I've seen on the market in the last decade. The thing brings up a list of options that one can read, but none of them works. Even worse, Skype hangs around and cannot be removed even with Alt-F4. I almost entitled this message, "Is Skype really a virus?" Fortunately, after going to the Control Panel, it was fairly easy to get rid of the thing. Now, my computer is working normally, but I really thought I had inadvertently introduced a virus to my computer (Windows 8.1). I'm using JAWS 16. So, except for those with some sight (probably quite a bit) and those with psychological needs to inflict punishment upon themselves, I would recommend to people that they bypass the tempting advertisements in the Skype email message that is likely to appear in your Inbox soon - if it has not appeared already.
