The general availability release of the client is planned for 'this fall,' per Microsoft's announcement. Back then, the team promised a phased rollout in which it would add IM, presence and contacts capabilities to the client in early summer, with telephony features arriving in late summer. Microsoft first rolled out the private preview of the Mac Skype for Business client, but it was an invite-only debut. That limitation seems to be somewhat of a disappointment, based on reader comments in, because the current Lync 2011 Mac client is described as being 'deficient' or it 'refuses to connect,' leaving some Mac Skype users in a lurch. On the Mac client side, Microsoft announced this week that its Skype for Business Mac client is still at the private preview stage and Microsoft is not seeking more participants (it currently has 22,000 individuals testing it). Microsoft Skype For Business Mac 2016 Office Response to the Previews was mixed although there were numerous reports of frequent drop outs and crashes which may be why Microsoft delayed the release of the final version of Skype for Business on OS X until the issues were resolved. The final version adds voice calling to traditional landline phone numbers.

Microsoft decides the features put into Exchange Online, Skype for Business Server 2015, and this SfB mobile app there is no reason that they can't make it work. It stinks that this app can't sync those and add them to my mailbox folder somehow.

Lastly, two Skype features, 'Organizational Auto Attendant' and 'Call Queues,' will get previewed in October. It will be possible to provision Skype for Business meetings to use the nearest datacenter region, Microsoft promised. This new version of Skype is a replacement for Lync, Microsoft's primary communications tool. Alongside the Office 2016 preview, Microsoft is also launching a test version of Skype for Business. Microsoft preps Office 2016, Skype for Business technical previews Enterprises and developers get a new technical preview for Office 2016 and a test run for Skype for Business. And we expect that the general availability of it will be this summer. The new Skype for Business Mac client will be available for Technical Preview in the second quarter of this year.
