Not so cool, although i am a skype user microsoft is a bit too much. Just because they have created some cool stuff and rich, does not mean they can keep on buying other people stuffs. Not everything can be bought using money. Is there a link to show the report why microsoft buy skype?

I was in the process of translating Skype. Now it's turned into an MS plaything, the challenge doesn't seem so rewarding. :(

Can't say I'm over-enamoured by this.

Time will learn that this means the end of skype as we know it! We should start checking out other ways. Today, I had a conference over skype with one of my USA clients, and it broke up about 4 times in 1.5 hours.

Mircosoft is the cause of this. What will happen if Microsoft decide to but over daniweb? Is too scary to even think of that:-O

I think Microsoft is going to brand Skype as a Windows Live App. Microsoft might develop for the Windows OS only.

Member Avatar for jingda

If they do so for Windows and not for mac users, i will kill them.:D

Just read Microsoft will not ditch Mac and Linux.

IMHO...

>> In the news previously, probably a month or so, I read an article regarding intelligence agencies' inability to monitor encrypted skype communications.

>> Microsoft buys Skype. My thoughts? Does this mean our calls will remain heavily encrypted? Who knows.
