I just upgraded Skype as per C-Net's alert last week. Today another alert that another new version was available. Now on my XP and Vista machines, Skype updates take awhile, even though they provide a little note part way through the update process that says something to the effect, "this won't take long", and "we're almost there". Yeah right.
I'm with Hartiq... I like the idea of it all, but it's a pain in the rear; I've never actually made a video chat, and yet spent hours installing incessant "updates" (this last one to fix bugs in the one last week, for crying out loud!) just in case I should ever want to, and I often thought the wife would like it for great grandkids and other distant relatives.
Skype engineers aren't being paid enough to get it right BEFORE releasing versions? I'm this close to tossing it all off all of our devices, and to heck with its "potential" connection with relatives.
How about one more "update" fellas? C'mon, Make My Day!
