Skype has just released a new version, Skype 2.7 beta for Mac. The best feature in the lasted build is support for OS X 10.5 Leopard. Skype is also not forgeting Linux, and PC as they update those versions often.

Skype 2.7 beta for Mac is the first OS X version to support VGA video at 25 frames per second. Users with a slow internet connection have the option to adjust video settings.

Most likely it will be some time before skype releases a Linux client with VGA support since they just recently added video to Skype 2.0 beta for Linux.

Microsoft Office 2008 for the Mac OS, coming out this winter, has been on the minds of Mac followers since Apple started using intel processors. Plus it has been 4 years since any changes.

Something great that we found was that it is a bit quicker than previous versions. Another thing that’s nice in this new Office is the addition of “object insertion bars” in all the apps, allowing users quick access to objects usually in other parts of the suite.

We are looking forward to it being publicly released. You are sure to be pleased.

Opera Browser just keeps getting better. Today the Opera team released Opera 9.24, which is really just a security update to Opera 9.24. And next week public beta of Opera 9.5 is being released.

Opera 9.24 fixes several vulnerabilities that could leave your computer open to attack. Updates are available for the Windows, Mac, and Linux/Unix versions of Opera.

Opera is official launching Opera 9.5 and throwing. We downloaded the alpha version and were impressed but it still does not compare to the good old Firefox.

If you can’t wait 8 more days to see how it looks, there’s a new snapshot build available for download. It has plenty of bug fixes and updates, but there’s also a huge list of known issues, so download at your own risk.
