Screengrab A frustrating aspect of being a non-Window user is that some of the latest technologies are not always available for the Mac operating system. For instance, take VoIP technology. Skype for Windows users could use video conferencing long before Skype for Mac users. Whereas the Skype for Windows version is at v3.5, the Mac version is still on release v2.6.

Skype for Mac 2.7 beta has now been made available along with a number of changes and enhancements. For instance, you can now access the Mac addressbook from within Skype, which means you can store IM contact information from within the addressbook, along with other contact details. You can also start and take part in a public chat as well as taking advantage of a much-improved file transfer user-interface. Download the Skype for Mac 2.7 beta.
