It used to be. But Microsoft made it more centralized.

Indeed, great move. Although, judging upon the number of comments, no-one seems to care that much.
Well they said it was because of the post-pc era, more mobile phones connecting to skype, mobile phones are not really suited for p2p video streaming. But then they somehow managed to make skype mobile experience so bad that it probably wouldn't be that big of a problem

It was never fully p2p was it? Calls and messaging may have been p2p at some point before Microsoft, but you still needed an account managed by a centralized entity to authenticate with the service.
