Skype has released a new version of software, namely 3.0.0.1.9.8 on Windows platform. It is a software that included some important fixes when compared to the previous version. According to this article from SkypeGarage, some changes are made to these bugs, such as app2app incoming connections from non-authorized buddies, e-mail validation, SMS number verification, and etc. You can download this newest version of Skype software through this link provided here.

This software is widely believed by the market that Skype will continue its strategy in penetrating the corporate market. As you can see here, most of the features listed above are all cater to the daily businesses’ needs. While I visit their site, Skype has offered a cheap SMS and calls to phones worldwide. In addition, this new version will also allows system administrators to configure and control the use across a corporate.

My sense is that Skype has a strong impression that it’s a freeware in the market. I wonder how it is going to switch from a freeware product model to a business model that could make a huge money from the corporate. Since Skype has been acquired by eBay in 2005, I still guessing on how eBay going to integrate the Skype product with its existing eBay’s online marketplace. But I sincerely hope eBay could reinvent Skype’s business model and advancing its leadership in Internet voice communications.
