Microsoft now allows Skype and Lync users to video call each other, Last Year Microsoft allowed audio calls and instant messaging between Skype and Lync Users.
So with this feature you can now work collaboratively with your Business partners. Microsoft just did not add this feature it also worked on some features in the new Skype Update for Windows.
In the new Skype the company had worked to improve the user interface of the Skype for users with touch PC. Users with touch PCs can now directly use your Skype just like on your smart phone.
If you have not yet received the update notification, then check weather your automatic updates are enabled or not from Tools->Options->Updates.
