Microsoft however, acted quick in providing the fix, as the folks over at Skype have released a hotfix (version 5.9.0.123) that prevents the application from using too much CPU resources. However, 5.9 hasn’t been so friendly with Microsoft’s Windows 8, and recently, people across various forums started to complain about Skype 5.9’s excessive use of system resources under the recently released Windows 8 Release Preview, which involves shooting up the CPU usage to as high as 35%, considerably high for a VoIP application.
Skype rolled out its updated version (5.9) back in April, with some improvements and feature enhancements here and there. Although, since its acquisition by Microsoft for US$8.5 billion, the company has seen a deterioration in its service, its popularity is still among the masses.
It is arguably the most renowned VoIP service in the world and millions around the globe use it on daily bases to keep in touch with their friends, family or co-workers. When we talk about VoIP (Voice-over Internet Protocol), the word Skype definitely hits our mind.
