.. and it will be a single DVD install with minimum 1Gb free space required, and a .net account to get it to run

Could be worse - could have been bought by HP.

to be fair, Skype Ultimate sounds badass.

yea true that, but it'll just be triple the price of MS Skype home pro & offer nothing you couldn't get for free anyways.

Well it starts, MS has just rolled out the 1st ad supported Skype. This ones for iOS but expect the ads to be coming to a Skype near you in the very near future.

Saw that. Deleted my skype app instead of upgrading.

I like how they put it around the 7th thing down the list of changes, a lot of people won't read it.

So Skype doesn't work with adds?

No ads here in Linux land ......... holds breath ..........

Question now is what's the best alternative??? I think we have 1 more decent update to find out before skype starts becoming bloated, slow & shit the MS way

I used to use Stunt IP to make calls via a 56k modem, without dropouts, interference, or adverts:
