I would love to use the Skype app for my laptop, i'm stuck with Windows 8 so I might as well use the Skype for Win8.

However, I don't want to be forced to merge all of my accounts, I want to keep my original Skype account separate.

The Windows 8 Skype app is a huge improvement, save but one issue: you cannot talk on skype and use another application without snapping the app, and snap does not function while a full screen window is active(i.e. games); until this is fixed, the app is useless.

Skype Metro is still a long way from being as usefull as the desktop counterpart.

You can't even share files yet. :sigh:

New Skype on Nexus 7 only has landscape mode, while the camera (and the tablet itself really) is supposed to be used in portrait mode.

Another fail brought to you by Microsoft
