So, I've heard lots of people say that the newest version works on this build. But I can't get it to work.

It only actually works if you run it from the start screen, if you run it from the desktop it crashes on sign-in. How is it most other software is flawless on win8 but skype fails miserably. Oh wait, that's because skype devs can't code
I don't use skype, so I didn't install it, but I wonder if the Facebook video chat client (skype subset) works.
Skype was crashing for me also, but I was finally able to get it to work. Basically I removed all references to Skype from ProgramFiles, ProgramData and Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming and installing the latest Skype version (5.5.0.117). You need to launch Skype from the new Start menu (with the Metro style interface). Details: auburnrandall.com/installskypewin8.aspx
It works seamlessly for me.. Download Skype here: h**p://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_5.5.0.117.msi
