Windows 8 Skype design is far better than the Apple iPad design


Windows 8 Skype design has been leaked and it seems to be much more appealing than what is in the Apple iPad. Microsoft has finally proved its superiority in case of design compared to others. Skype for non-metro has finally managed to match the tile design of the Windows 8 OS but also made the iOS version of the same app look much like a baroque.

The image of the Windows 8 Skype design has been revealed through twitter by the IT developer AdamUCF. The app not only looks cool but also it has been able to leave the iPad Skype design far behind the race. Also, it is to be noted that the Apple Mac Skype design has always been lagging behind compared to the other PC versions of the same application.

But as Skype has joined hands with Microsoft and how is a team of it, does it means Skype is infusing hatred towards the Apple iOS and Mac users? But, in this battle it should also be noted that Apple has also been torturing Microsoft with its iTunes as well. Is new Skype design for Windows 8 just a payback? But for the current topic the Windows 8 Skype design undoubtedly surpasses the iPad design in all aspects.
