                           Sharing computers (“File Sharing 1: Nearby Sharing”), and various
                           other export options—Mail, Facebook, and Dropbox, for example.
                           If you’ve installed a program with beefier editing tools, like
                           Microsoft’s own Fresh Paint, its name appears here, too.


                           Print. Yes, some people still print their photos.

                This, of course, is the awe-inspiring Settings app described in Chapter 7.




                Skype


                In 2011, Microsoft bought Skype, the popular chat, audio-chat, and video-

                chat program. (The price: $8.5 billion. For Microsoft, pocket change.)

                In 2013, Skype officially became a standard Microsoft Store app. (Its
                predecessor, an app called Messenger, went to the great CompUSA in the

                sky.)

                Skype is a game-changer. It’s the app millions of middle-aged parents use to
                call their kids studying abroad…new parents use to show their babies to the

                grandparents…and long-distance couples use to video chat. Skype finally
                comes preinstalled with Windows 10—you don’t have to download it
                anymore. And the best part: All this voice and video calling is free.


                For a handy guide to setting up and using Skype, see the free downloadable
                PDF appendix “Skype” on this book’s “Missing CD” page at
                missingmanuals.com.
