Microsoft's Skype videoconferencing service better watch out: rival Viber is invading the Windows platform with a new app for Windows 8.
Tech site The Next Web said this came shortly after Viber introduced an international calling service that would rival Skype.
Viber's new Windows 8 app uses live tiles and lock screen notifications for Microsoft customers, the report said.
It added that Viber even uses other Windows 8 features such as pinning to the Start menu, snapping to the side using Snap View, and using Microsoft’s Search charm to check for contacts.
The Next Web noted Viber's registered user base tops the 200-million mark, though it makes money by selling stickers and international calling credit.
