I have just downloaded the latest developer release (beta) of Skype for Windows, v4.1. The new features are welcome:

• Screen sharing – Will be a great help for us working for support, and perhaps also for remote controling of Powerpoint presentations?
• Send and import of contacts – You can now check if your friends on for instance Live, Gmail, Yahoo and LinkedIn are using Skype. Perhaps their first of many steps towards cloud computing?
• Birthday reminders
• Improvements to call quality
• Bug fixes
