LUXEMBOURG, Sep 13, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Skype, the global Internet communications company, has
released the beta version of its popular communications software,
Skype for Mac 2.0, which gives any Mac user with an Internet
connection the ability to make free video calls to anyone else on
Skype(TM) regardless of whether they use the Windows or Mac platform.
Skype's new cross platform support allows its extensive international
community of more than 113 million users to make free video calls to
people across the globe using both Windows and Macintosh computers.

Mac users can now enjoy one-on-one video calls, viewed within the
Skype window or on the full computer screen. Skype video for Mac also
includes a small window for users to view how they appear to the
person they are calling. Connecting seamlessly across Windows and Mac
operating systems, Skype for Mac with video offers users free,
high-quality video calling regardless of platform. This means that,
for the first time ever, Mac users can connect with and view friends,
family and colleagues using Windows without downloading any additional
software.
