Skype 3.8 beta is out - but I am waiting
A new version of Skype - Skype 3.8 Beta for Windows - is out but I’m choosing to hold off installing it. This is a first for me. Normally I am first to install every beta version available of my favourite software (I am currently testing the new beta version of Filezilla) and I would be sitting there listing all the bugs and annoying the hell out of the developers!) But this time….I don’t know.
I suppose I am not inclined to mess up my Skype up right now. I am using Skype a lot at the moment for conference calls and I have things tweaked and set up the way I want it. The last thing I want to do is to drop a bomb on my stable version by downloading a beta buggy version which, as Skype themselves admit doesn’t always “behave as it should”.
So when I heard from a lot of people about the tendency for 3.8 to drop a lot of calls or for it to freeze suddenly, I guess I got cold feet. I can wait. When I saw the features list, nothing sensational jumped out at me. It’s not as if they re-invented the wheel or anything. Most of it is just bugfixes.
