I’ve just installed the latest version of Skype for Windows, and there are improvements and also some new stuff. The new version finally supports file transfer, so you can now do all traditional stuff as you could with the most commonly used instant messengers.

The new version also have some new cool sounds and emoticons, and several important bug fixes. Also the Linux version has been updated, but it far from so useable as the Windows version. The MacOS X version has still not been released for beta testing.
