I have also been using Skype for years and I think its great. I did wonder when ebay took it over but it was only adverts that ruined it and as its free I could not grumble. But I fail to see why MS want it when they have MSN and the reason that's not popular is because its MS not because its no good. ok so what's the alternative, and don't say google as they as worse than MS for stealing.
