New Skype for Web is live for Edge and Chrome browsers

What's even more ridiculous is that for Firefox, if you change the "User Agent" it works perfectly fine.

On your hardware, using your OS version, on the single internet connection you tried, in your language, with your set of installed plugins, using your particular browser settings, and trying the limited set of features that you used to test it.

That's practically the definition of "it works on my machine."

I imagine the Skype team have a somewhat more rigorous testing methodology.

I don't understand why so many people downvote this. He didn't say nothing wrong. "I opened in my browser" is not a proper testing, there are a lot might going on.

In recent year MS have showed itself in many good ways and I don't think that they will do such shady move without proper reason.

I would guess it's because it comes off as a bit snarky, and the same point could have been conveyed in a less patronizing way, but that's all completely subjective, so who really knows (besides, of course, The Shadow).

I've got to try harder if it was only a bit snarky. :)
