I think the new Skype account is now the Microsoft account, and the old Skype 
names are just there for legacy for people that have them, I could be wrong 
though.

  I remember when some of us first heard that Microsoft was taking over 
Skype.that there'd be accessibility problems; looks like this is exactly what 
they have done!

  So the saga continues. I used an email I hardly use for creating my training 
skype account. That's fine, however you are given an email as your skype name. 
I think this is not a good move, as for my job I do, my students need real 
skype names, not their email addresses. There are complaints against skype 
regarding this on the internet but because skype was bought out by microsoft 
they never listened to us, and now the forum boards are not made accessible to 
us for posting so I cannot lodge my own complaint publicly against skype. This 
is a bad move and  a big privacy issue to me. I refuse to give out my email 
address as a skype name. I'd want to remain hidden under an alias such as 
marrie1,  or tffptraining or  what not. 

   

  Just my very not so humble opinion.

   

  Blessings and happy Sunday

    I have a suspect, that now you'll be directed to the Microsoft website when 
you create a new account. Now that I remember, I received something like this a 
bunch of time ago from Skype Garage blog, and I think this is due to the fact 
that MS is now running Skype. I honestly don't know what can have Bill in order 
to prevent this from happening...
