Skype drops Windows Phone 7 support

,----[ Quote ]
| VOIP AND CHAT OUTFIT Skype is sending out
| confusing signals regarding its support, or
| maybe lack of support, for Windows Phone 7.
|
| Earlier today Dan Neary, Asia Pacific VP and
| general manager of Skype, said that the firm
| decided not to support Microsoft's upcoming
| Windows Phone 7 Series operating system.
| Neary justified Skype's decision by saying
| that the operating system had a "lack of user
| optimisation and partner support."
