Does FaceTime HD webcam work with Skype 5.3 HD?

[macbook123]

I'm getting a Thunderbolt display with HD webcam.

I never use FaceTime since I can't rely on my friends and family members getting macs.

The new Skype 5.3 offers HD calling with an HD webcam, which I frequently use with a Logitech HD webcam I bought.

Will my friends/family be able to see my in HD through Skype if I use the HD webcam that comes with the TB display, or has this been disabled by Apple to force people to use FaceTime?
