Released just last week, Skype for Windows version 5.8 comes with a number of notable new features that includes support for 1080p HD video calling. For the longest time, it didn't matter that top-of-the-line webcams were capable of supporting full HD 1080p resolutions, given that popular video calling services only supported HD 720p video calls. Skype 5.8 for Windows changes that, and also adds new features such as video calling to Facebook users. Skype recommends an Internet connection with 2Mbps upload and download speed in order to enjoy full HD quality. You can read the official blog announcement here.
