Hi. Appologies for the cross-posting, but thought this could
be of some interest to skuypers out there not on the Skype-English Group.
I'm not all that convinced on the benefits at this stage, but maybe that
will change if and when more information becomes available.

Skype Plugs In to Outlook, IE

Just as Microsoft is allegedly starting to dabble in voice over IP, a
third-party
plug-in for Skype allows the VOIP company to dabble in Microsoft, so to
speak, by
integrating the service with Internet Explorer and Outlook e-mail. Beta
versions of the two plug-ins appeared Tuesday on Share Skype, a site that
attracts developers and enthusiasts who use the openly shared
Skype
API. After downloading and installing the plug-ins, Skype users should be
able to
easily access the PC-to-PC voice service while using either Outlook or the
IE Web
browser.
Skype spokesperson Kelly Larabee said the company is waiting to hear
feedback and
suggestions from users before speaking about the software at any length.
"Skype will continue to enhance usability and ubiquity through extended
integration
with other desktop applications to deliver more collaboration potential and
to continue
defining modern communications," Larabee added.
The IE plug-in is designed to work with browser versions 5.0 and upwards, on
computers
using Windows 2000 and Windows XP. After installing the program, a Skype
Toolbar
will appear at the top of the browser window, meaning users will be able to
contact
and speak with other Skype users while surfing the Web.
Cheers,
Mark
