Skype fills out with middle age

One of the best 

Skype, in my opinion, is one of the best pieces of desktop software ever written. It's fairly lightweight, has very few bugs, looks pretty, and does its job well.

Would I have paid 2.6 billion for it? No.

Would I have liked to sit in either their CTO or CSO spot? Hell yes.

Thumb Up

I have used SKYPE for about 2 years now and have found it to be what it says on the tin. It has saved me a fortune over that time with calls to the continent.

I think Skype has problems 

It happens to me often that I receive a chat message on Skype that's more than a day old. Now, when I send a chat message through Skype I have no confidence that it will arrive promptly.
