The article in question provided many details. Windows 10 was not mentioned exclusively either. They are no longer supporting Skype 7, what they call Classic Skype and will be forcing people to upgrade to the modern version. Whether there is a way to avoid the updates and whether Classic will still work I don't know. S Portable may be an option, but even then, I usually have to tell it not to update.

For I know it's been almost years been using Skype for call and video conferencing to my folks. And how this will be going to be severely impacted some of us using of the Skype. The reason of this is because here in my area some of the folks and businesses uses Skype for their jobs, and useful to consider as well. Better to provide link that could shed details for this matter.Is this concern for the Windows 10 only or to other platform?

I'm on a family plan with TMobile. It's unlimited, with no overage charges. But iy ou use a certain amount of data in one month, they throttle the connection, making it much slower. I only use it during the day when in the backyard or when on trips. Otherwise, I use our home wifi, so it's not an issue. I would never use a pay as you go plan, because I use the Internet for many hours per day, and my Skype conversations are a minimum of three hours each.
I don't pay for the home wifi, and other things, which are not mine, are connected to it. Plus, my parents know very little about computers, so I'm not going to play with their modem.

Hi Sean,
I like Chrome, so therefore, I like hangouts. I'd rather have Chrome than Edge any day.
All the best

I am not exactly happy with leaving skype, since skype has been something I have had to use on and off, however while there was a potential time that I may have had to use skype, fact is there for business it never happened that way.
Hangouts needs chrome, I would really like a stand alone client if I could have that.
I have not decided but I may try to learn the new skype, however a lot of family use whats app on a newer mobile device and there is also skype and others and who knows.
I like my pc though.

This is a serious question from someone who is aware of Skype, and dabbled with it, but never adopted it for regular use: Why is this such an issue?
It doesn't just seem to me, but it's been confirmed here, that there are many alternatives to Skype many of which are accessible. It will also be interesting to see what UI interface changes occur, particularly with regard to accessibility, with Skype 8.0. --
