Microsoft will block older versions of Skype for Windows and OS X

In order to unify user experience, Microsoft decided in the coming months to block older versions of Skype: 6.13 and earlier for Windows and 6.14 and earlier for OS X. Users of older versions will be asked to upgrade to the latest version.
About the Skype version for the rest of the OS, nothing was said, but it can be assumed that they will not be affected.
