Nov 15, 2016 You can now use Skype without an account. Skype without an account works on the web, and up to 300 people can participate in a Skype group chat, with up to 25 people on a voice or video call. If you use Skype as a guest then the conversation will only last for 24 hours, and if you want to access features like calling landlines or Skype Translator.

Not that I have used Windows 8 personally but on reviewing what the support for Skype has to say and based on FAQs, I believe in order to use the Skype which was pre-installed on Windows 8, you will need a Microsoft Account.
Check the FAQs here >https://support.skype.com/en/category/WINDOWS8/
If you do not want to register for the Microsoft Account, you can download the desktop application of Skype suggested by gladiator2345
This reminds of the time where Google and Youtube got togther. Windows 8.1 apk full download. Now you have to have a Google+ account in order to comment on Youtube and such. However, I do not mind Google+
