Still 'down' here (in Spain) however it was never really down for us (NL/ES/UK); it says you are offline and all in the list are offline but chatting and calling etc just works as normal (I called phone numbers, Skype users and chatted) even though it reports offline. If you logout however you cannot login again. I don't have a business account.

That headline seems to downplay it a lot. It was totally down for at least 6 hours. I introduced Slack to the team today...

http://isskypedown.com is actually a thing, and it should redirect to https://slack.com/pricing

Do we have any reason to assume Slack would do any better than Skype with respect to availability in the long term though?

You should really be looking at an on-premises solution if availability is really that much of a concern, in my own humble opinion.

I also introduced Slack to the team, and now we're not going back!
