Well, for now I wou ldnot worry about it. We have bigger fish to fry and skype is not importent, at least for me. I hardly use it on the windows side of things. and if I need I can always just use nvda and what ever it has to offer in terms of skype, so yeah for now it's not that importent.
If you really want to complane, go to ther skype community where you will actually get a chance to talk to one of the skype devs as they do read the boards. We have none here.
