What's the best way to do respond to a new competitor's product launch? How about reminding them why you are still the top dog? Skype's latest beta of their Skype 5 release now sports the ability to video conference with ten of your colleagues.

The new capability comes to the Skype for Windows offering which in May tested the ability to conference with 5 people. Now the ten person party eclipses that earlier offer and also adds call recovery so that if a network interruption drops your call, Skype will automatically reconnect.

Additionally, the new beta rolls out Skype Home, a social-networky feature with profile pics, friend updates and mood notifications--a nice feature to be able to tell the best time to ask the boss for a raise.
