Important update?

[Jeff Layman]

Why is WU telling me that Skype 5.10 is an "Important Update" for Windows 7?

I thought that MS had done this earlier in the year after they acquired
Skype.

Something to do with change in topology ? Just a guess.

Everything about Skype, is meant to be cryptic.

You can see another recent error regarding Skype, and your
experience sounds similar.

Yes, I'd seen that a couple of month back. I wasn't offered it then
although I had Skype 5.0.0.156 on this machine (I haven't used Skype in
a couple of years).

I've hidden the update so hopefully it won't appear again.
