Skype has sold out to the Microsoft Plantation!

Although I personally don't used Skype, I believe it a damn shame that one of the most popular freewares ever will NOT exist much longer.

THIS^ is a tragic. mad

You thought that a company worth 8.5 billion dollars would be freeware (and thus not making ANY money) forever?

Yeesh.

I didn't know it was worth that much. I was tired of it the first month I downloaded it. I'm thinking of deleting it.

Well, Sykpe is about to be F'd up when Mircosoft gets its hands on it. I use an Apple app called Line2, for 9 dollars a month and has way more features than Sykpe.

Yeah, I downloaded it too and never really got into it. It sucks as an IM service, and I don't really go on webcam like that, so it's essentially useless to me lol .

The only ones I use are Skype, Calleasy (which you can only use for cheap phonetalks) and PowerVOIP. I might start to use others too though.

Plantation?

I am sorry I am not liking the comparison of MS to slavery. It is pretty insensitive to the men and woman that lived that life and to the millions of people currently living as slaves around the world.

Skype has always looked terrible to me.

You might as well be looking at a still picture of the person you're talking to.
