Skype Federation
Ever since Microsoft began the acquisition process of Skype, there have been questions and speculation about what type of integration would be made with Lync. In Lync Server 2013, federation to Skype has been added, and it looks similar to how federation with other public IM providers is achieved. For the initial release the integration will be for presence, IM, and audio only. Video support is still in the developmental stages and will likely be added during a future cumulative update package.
