What about this isn't just the network effect problem? Skype wins on network effect. (My utterly nontechnical mother got broadband *just* to Skype to her grandchildren. "Video phone" = "Skype". [1])
Ubuntu included Ekiga in the default install for ages. It works perfectly well. They eventually took it out because pretty much no-one used it. I submit that the problem is not the software itself - it's gaining network effect for the software, to overcome the proprietary incumbent. - d. [1] yes, this is bad, but I'm describing the ground first. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
