Lync 2013 becomes Skype for Business 2015 with the latest update

Users of the Microsoft Lync 2013 application have the opportunity to update to the official release of Skype for Business 2015.

As far as we can see at this point: most users will notice a revised interface and one or two nice little features such as drag and drop file transfer and improved video conferencing. Integration with the Skype directory is also much improved. A full convergence with Skype it is not … as yet. System administrators however may be happier about this than their users

The update, although labelled as an update to Lync 2013, will update your client application to Skype for Business 2015. For more information and downloads, see the Microsoft KB page here : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2889923/
