Title: Important: You will no longer be able to use Skype on older Windows devices and TVs

Hi All,

Obviously they seem willfully oblivious to Linux, however does this mean they will stop the Linux version logging in too? I'm guessing not as there is a Linux DEB for download on the linked website but I just thought I would ask. For the record I have never used Skype on any of the platforms they list.

Kind regards,

Julian
