Skype Experiences Worldwide Outage – PC Version

Skype is suffering serious connectivity problems worldwide and it seems like it is affecting just the Skype PC versions. 

Skype for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android seem to be working fine. However, video and voice calling with Skype PC versions seem to throw this error. 

@skype has ackownledged this outage in their twitter feed.

Some people are just seeing the following error message.

Skype has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available.

Is this due to Microsoft acquiring Skype?
