Hello, all,
Please share with me whether Skype works with Windows Vista (Home)? I checked the Skype site but it says there Windows XP, and 2000, Vista was not mentioned. I wrote to their Customer Service - got no answer.
Thanks,
V.

Skype works with Vista. I switched to Vista in March and have also installed Skype at my computer. No problems at all.
Kind regards,
Ellie

thank you, Ellie Jun 3, 2007

I was not sure as now i know that because of the Inetnet Explorer 7 issues some programs behave differently in Vista.

Thank you,
I will install it,
Vladimir

i. explorer 7.0 + skype 3.2 work on vista home premium Jun 4, 2007

Two of the (few) programs that so far have not given me any trouble on Vista.


As for Office 2007, some months ago it was not ready for Trados or Wordfast. I don't know if there have been any improvements on that side.

Regards,
Paula

yes it's working Jun 4, 2007

It is working, yes, though I had to install the update for the built-in camera (in my laptop) as it was given me a message "camera is in use with another application" when i tried to use it with Skype.
