again, new technology does not necessaries make our life easier.

bought myself a new laptop after 4 yrs, not that the old laptop was koyak, but it's performance really big a problem for my daily coding work.

Anyway, story was not about this new laptop.
But a 'funny' thing I go thru as I want to setup a Skype on it.

The new laptop come with Win 8, so, as 'normal' logical thinking I was looking for the Skype for Win 8 installation.

All going smooth, just that when I start to use it

wth this Skype is occuping my whole screen, not as a tiny long window as before ???


Trying to search for the option to change the setting
Thought of cleaning up some of my contact, try to find the Remove Contact

All these not in the Options menu, I really ask why why why to myself many times...


You know what?
The conclusion is, I should NOT install Skype for Win 8 if I want how it looks in Win 7

There is a version call : Skype for Windows desktop which is the one I should have install

I am really sorry to tell, this naming is very confusing for me

The 'desktop' means all things NOT in the 'mobile' ? i.e. laptop is now also a desktop
All the while we are downloading software by OS, now we have to differentiate by.. what's this call, eerrr.. machine type ?

Don't know for others, I really don't like this naming strategy, thumb down .
