I am running Skype 7 and have been advised to update to Skype 8 as support will end soon "November" will the new version be compatible with Vista? If not I suspect that you can kiss goodby to any credits you have.
Vista and Skype

According to this article-
Microsoft Says It’ll Kill Off Skype Classic on November 1 (For Good This Time)
support will end for "Classic." This doesn't seem to relate to an operating system.

It looks like a forced upgrade which means they will likely stop allowing users to login with it. Also according to the system requirements version 8 requires 7. Are you really surprised?
