If you're a keen user of Skype 3 then you were probably one of the keenest to download and test the new version of Skype 4, which entered beta testing last month. We downloaded and installed it immediately, but were quickly disappointed. The biggest problem was the re-designed interface which was arranged to give video calls the priority. Who really uses Skype to make video calls? Seriously? In business, I don't want to necessarily 'see' the other user when I make a call.Latest stories from Business Software

<p>You’d be surprised :)</p> <p>Around 28% of Skype-to-Skype calls are video calls, so we reckon it’s pretty mainstream. Still, as you say, compact view does allow you to revert back to a more traditional interface. The goal is to make as many people as possible happy, so we hope the addition of compact view makes sense for people who don’t use video – or who simply prefer not to have windows maximised.</p>
