skype's always one step ahead, they are shifting to microsoft quality to make the transition smoother for their customers. :)

I'm getting really sick of the stupid Microsoft remarks. I'm a Mac / Apple guy through and through, but it's just so annoying all the people saying things are going to shit the second M$ gets them, even though when the problem obviously has nothing to do with M$.

Skype was reclassified by kids from "awesome software" to "proprietary crap" as soon as Microsoft bought it.

You are really funny. You pretend to be the grown-up here and still write M$.

I know it's an annoying 90s in-joke, but let's be honest, these instability problems did start happening weeks after Microsoft bought the company. It might not be what trolls suggest but it's certainly some coincidence..!

I was hating on Skype way before it was cool. ("What, SIP? It's a pretty obscure protocol; you probably haven't heard of it.")

If you use Skype's services extensively even before Microsoft came along, you would have noticed a lot of bugs (I know I did, and their support was meh), but they try. I would like to blame Microsoft for this, but I don't have any solid evidence to do so.

A lot of business's rely on Skype, so for them to just go out and say sorry is kind of bullshit. Where are the backup systems. There must be some process put it into place that compensates for situations like this. Maybe Microsoft can throw some coin at Skype now for a brand spankin new data center.
