    Bluddy skype on bluddy win 8! The only way to log in with a different account is by creating a new windows user with the ID/e-mail address/password of the other account. So if you have a personal account (paid for by you), a business account (paid for by them), and maybe a few project accounts issued by people you're doing contracts for (paid for by a different "them"), you have to create windows users for each, and log in to windows as the different users to use them! And having to use your windows credentials to log into a social media app has to present a security risk. Wanna get on a company's intranet? Just phish a skype account, and telnet in*. * D'you think that bit of hacking/phishing/virus-making advice will keep Bruno happy for a while?

    It's a poorly written article but this[^] might help.

      "by manually running one line of command" Translate of the google, methinks it is. If that SeaSide has a very small footprint, it may be OK, though. I'll dig in tomorrow.

        The d/l is 708kb - pretty unheard of in today's bloatware world. Good luck.

            I can't see it working for any business' security department -- that "phish & telnet" thing could actually work. Mind you, I don't think any businesses are using win 8 (including microsoft!), so it shouldn't be a problem.

              So I have to install the same bloated, grabs-and-keeps-100-meg-of-memory-at-boot program twice on the same machine? Besides, I'm actually looking for things that I can put on the start screen. Without skype, all I've got is the (cr)app store and a weather widget. Oh, and the goto_desktop button.

              That sounds like solid reasoning. :~ Seriously, the METRO version of Skype is minimalistic. I use the desktop version for some of the reasons cited as well as the fact it still has an API. It doesn't have to run at boot either.

                  It's not the logging in, it's the credentials you use, which are the same credentials that give you access to the computer as a whole. As I said, if you manage to phish someone's skype log-in details, you can log in to the computer itself -- thereby gaining access to any connected network. I doubt that many companies' security bods would be happy with that. Anyway, I've uninstalled it, now, in favour of the desktop app (with different credentials), so I have only a weather widget and the (cr)app store on my start screen. What a fabulous replacement for the Start Menu it is!

                    Sure, but you then have to log into windows 8 with the credentials of that account.

                            I've had that problem with other Windows sites and services too... Outlook, Microsoft Virtual Academy, Microsoft Certified Professional, Microsoft Support Center, Microsoft Profile... All linked to one account. Changed my email and I had to change them all (or sign in and out of my email, and on my tablet same as you) :( I hope I'll never need another Microsoft account again...

                            Try working on Azure, Visual Studio Online, SharePoint Online, and GMail, all with different accounts. And all at the same time, not a few hours alone with each.
