Skype on the slide May 11, 2011

Received this news with dismay. Heaven help us all now that the not-broken Skype will surely soon be "fixed" with the shiny yet unsolicited lockstep updates and generally useless bells and whistles Mr Gates and his crew are so fond of.

Don't worry. May 11, 2011

Worst case scenario: Skype is replaced by something else. Think Myspace->Facebook transition.

Yes. I'm already looking out for a successor to skype. I'm someone who still uses Office 2000. Works quite well. Not as well as Office 97, but better than all the subsequent editions.
