Lenovo to pre-install Skype on its laptops

Lenovo and Skype just inked a deal in which Lenovo will pre-install Skype on business laptops (which ones, we’re not sure yet). That basically saves the install process to the user, but an account is still needed. Skype is currently building up its professional offer and its integration with office telephone systems, so this is clearly part of that initiative. During hard times, consumers are harder to cash on, so building value for enterprises becomes the new priority.
