From missing features to unwanted change in UI, Skype Community forum is full of such complaints from Skype 8 insider preview users. Unfortunately, just like every major update comes with plenty of headaches for users, Skype 8 is no exception here. The current version of Skype that most users are running is Skype 7 Build 7.40.0.104 or build 7.41.0.101, both the versions are stable version and have classic UI, which most users are used of. Although Microsoft is maintaining its stand that Skype 7 Classic will be discontinued from September, we believe the Skype 7 classic may continue to work even after that, because Skype 8 is only designed to work for Windows 7 and onwards.

Which also means the support for Skype 7 aka Skype Classic version will end and users will be forced to move to Skype 8. Microsoft is gearing up for Skype 8, and official public release is expected for September 2018.
