"Microsoft has added Skype integration to its Outlook.com email platform. The service, which is now available in preview form in the UK, brings voice and video calling options to users&amp;#039; inboxes.  &amp;quot;Even with the best email service, sometimes text alone isn&amp;#039;t enough, and we all face those situations where it is just easier to give someone a quick call,&amp;quot; said Microsoft in a statement. &amp;quot;Now, with the Skype for Outlook.com preview, you can choose the right medium for your message, whether it is an email, call, video call or instant message - you can connect with your Skype and Messenger friends all in the same place.&amp;quot; Skype for Outlook is accessible via a one-time browser plugin download, which enables users to merge the two services and combine their contacts. The preview version of Skype for Outlook is rolling out in the UK today, with a US launch to follow in the coming weeks. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
