They JUST released Lync's replacement today, Skype for Business. It is TODAY that they stopped Lync.

Oh, he said Skype for Business was dropped. Based on what you just said, implemented, started, enacted, enabled or any other word would have been more appropriate. When I hear dropped, I figured that meant they'd decided not to use it, which is where my confusion came in. Like when packets drop. It doesn't mean that they've connected, it means that they are lost or no longer reaching their destination.

Apparently, MS now "drops" software like record labels "drop" albums. Word.

Or drops a dope beat.

The hair alone scares me

The hair is definitely odd.

Lync showed up as Skype for one of my power users on Friday, I believe. I didn't get the email from Microsoft until today. Thanks for the heads up Microsoft.

They announced it would be going away a while back. Thankfully they changed the normal Skype interface to a more lync like one.

Lync is still the only thing on my O365 account. No Skype for Business yet.

I hate this "For Business" naming convention. Same with OneDrive and OneDrive for Business. Two products, similar names. It's confusing. Especially as I now have a OneDrive for Business account for my personal use. I'm not a business so my head wants to explode - they should call it "OneDrive For Business Or For People Who Just Like The Product But Aren't Actually A Business".

And after all this talk that Lync was being replaced with Skype.... then they just renamed Lync to "SfB" and keep them separate. So it's never being replaced and now Skype is just the old Lync that never worked. I agree, they've lost their minds with marketing their products and made everything impossible to discuss or support.
