DESCRIPTION
Skype allows you to talk to friends, family and co-workers across the internet without long distance telephone charges. It works by using P2P technology for the data transmission, meaning there is no central server as a middle manager.

    FIREGOLDPOOSHKA  lately skype video calls have been crashing constantly; have not been able to have a call for longer than 1 minute. very frustrating. additionally audio/voice quality degraded badly, i.e., breaking up nonstop. utterly awful. disgusted.

    **...

    ERIC WOEHLER  More details after further use..

    doesnt show status of contacts accurately - I am 'invisible' but I show up as online on a friend's contact list, similarly other friends who are offline show up as online.

    if you move the chat video window during chat, skype hangs and needs a force quit. Sometimes the hang up button doesnt work and the other party needs to end the call.

    Skype is going backwards in its quality on the mac

    less stable with every release, more buggy and more of a challenge to deal with...

    a shame, the potential was there for great software  (Version 2.7.0.257)
