I had not planned to install it anyway - I don't like to try first betas, but from now I will avoid it as long as possible... I’m not interested in video calls and interface change in that way.

It looks like it was designed to run solely on Microsoft Bob. This type of UI completely alienates all existing users of Skype. It looks like it was designed for a full-screen kiosk that doesn't need to run any other applications. Overly HUGE fonts, lots of wasted space. Meant for big dummies who are half blind, not professionals. Big disappointment. Thank God this is only a beta version. They have A LOT more work to do and need to re-think the direction they're considering. Horrible interface. It looks like it was designed to run solely on Microsoft Bob.
