Microsoft Buys Skype...

King have you ever tried flashing your BIOS? In the past that has resolved some low level problems for me. It's a very fundamental update that people rarely remember and something to try when all else fails.

Ok...can't hold back...too much potential for joke....
Well, Tim DID flash his BIOS, but he got caught and is now serving 1-2 years for indecent exposure!! :) LOL

LOL!!!!!  Oh wow, I just burst out laughing while eating my chips.  That may not be too far from the truth!

I downloaded Skype last month as I was a guest on a podcast. I never had any problems with it, in fact I added a few people to it overseas and over here. As long as it stays free I think it will be fine. If anything the software should get better. I know a lot of people use heytell, but Skype has s lot of uses. Where else can you make a transatlantic phonecall for free and easily. But I agree a few podcasters will be keeping an eye on it.

I think Skype's current "Freemium" model will not change. Skype to Skype for free and extended functionality (SkypeIn, SkypeOut, voicemail, etc) come at a fee.

The wife has been using Skype for years for inexpensive international calls (Skype to landline) and video conferencing.  I'll be interested to see what this means for Windows 7 Mobile.

i just got skype a few days ago after gmail video chat failed to let me hear the other side. but then skype didn't let me see the other side, so then we used both programs at once and it worked fine. maybe microsoft will improve the visual feature.  ???
