XAMPP & Skype Conflict

I've just found out that, in my Windows 7Skype and XAMPP have a conflict.
Apache cannot start if Skype is running because it states that port 80 is already in use. When configured to port 8080, Apache does not start because port 443 is in use.

The solution?
Terminate Skype, start Apache, start Skype.

Weird...
