As Teams&#8217; adoption skyrocketed in the last year, this really sealed Skype&#8217;s status as a legacy technology for Microsoft. The removal of Skype as a pre-installed app helps reinforce Teams as the preferred solution from Microsoft&#8217;s perspective, emphasizing that this is where its investment will be moving forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>For more information, read the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/technology-57597352\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">original story<\/a> in the BBC.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft will launch Windows 11 without the Skype and add Microsoft Teams instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[62,224],"class_list":["post-7555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-software","tag-microsoft","tag-windows"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7555"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7555\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7597,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7555\/revisions\/7597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
