No, If you are comfortable with 4.2, you should use it by
all means.
Its audio quality is superior and it uses less bandwidth,
thus making
it ideal for low-bandwidth connections such as dialup.
I find that file sending and conference calls are quite
difficult to manage in skype 4.x, especially when using a
screen reader that does
not have full mouse emulation.
If you have not used skype in a while and if you do not
do a lot of conferencing and file transferring, you are
probably best served by
using the current version and getting familiar with it
rather than
the older 3.8 that might force you to upgrade and then
learn something new.
Hanging on to 3.8 is more for those of us who know it
like the back
of our hands and who want or need one of its few more
accessible features.
I used to go with the latest and greatest with skype all
the time but
have not since the 4.x cycle. I do use 4.2 on occasion
when talking
to someone on dialup or a capped connection. skype 4.2 is
quite
usable even without the benefit of jaws scripts for it.
3.8 is just
mor convenient and a bit more accessible.

Hi there,
What's wrong with 4.2? I was thinking of updating,
having not used Skype for a while. Is there a reason why
I should stick with 3.8?
Thanks! <Hugs>

Subject: [access-uk] "Skype 3.8 for Business" on Filesend
People have had problems with skype 3.8 spontaneously
updating itself to the current 4.2 version despite auto
updates being disabled in skype 3.8's options.
I found that installing the business version of skype 3.8
and disabling the autoupdates in skype's options has
prevented these unsolicited updates from recurring.
someone needed the installer for skype 3.8 for Business
and I put it on Filesend for them. I hthought maybe
someone else might benefit from this.
Please find the download link below this message. I
packaged the actual installer inside a 7-zip archive.
winrar or 7-zip will extract 7-zip archives.
