As stated... This is only useful for businesses using office 360.<p>Getting your friends to use skype is as easy getting them to switch to windows phone. I used to have skype to speak with friends abroad, but most have switched to Whatsapp... I now use whatsapp.
Apparently as an Office 365 user my experience is already "richer". I can't imagine how awful this could possibly be that my experience should be better.<p>I mostly resort to using Google Hangouts internally which is more reliable, easier and actually works in Linux. And is free.
