Funny story, Lync[1] still exists. Actually it was an update to Skype for Business, at least on our systems at work.

I'm using it right this minute: http://imgur.com/a/qQ648

Officially, Lync became Skype for Business. In reality, Skype for Business is the hellspawn of Skype and Lync.

In reality, your IT admins have control of a GPO/registry key that will declare whether your client should be called "Lync" or "Skype for Business" when you launch it. In typical Microsoft wisdom, I guess they provided this to prevent too much culture shock in the transition. You're using the Skype for Business client with the "Lync" skin.
