It looks like Microsoft is finally going to start working with Skype. The past few days, Microsoft has been posting positions for the Skype division, describing HTML5 UI and browser-specific experience as requirements. Skype has already worked on an integration with Facebook several months back, so it’s no surprise that they’d be working on a web-based platform. Plus, HTML5 would mean it could run on X86 and ARM platforms without needing to be reprogrammed, so it could lead to a Windows 8 app.
