Skype is already available on Windows 8 and built-in to Windows 8.1, so Microsoft keeps improving it on a regular basis, in an attempt provide users of the Modern UI with the same experience as on the desktop.

A new version of the app was officially released this morning, bringing general fixes supposed to repair the bugs reported in older builds.

As usual, the new version is delivered via the Windows Store, but in case you’re running the new Windows 8.1, be it Preview or RTM, the update is automatically downloaded and installed without prior notifications unless you changed the default configuration of the OS.

Today’s improvements are aimed at all Modern versions of Skype, so the update should be available on desktops and tablets running Windows 8 or Windows RT alike.
