Is not working for me since early today, first the connection went down and later the application crashed ... I refuse to switch to MSN. I'm afraid that soon my monitor will explode if microsoft acquisition of NVIDIA goes through. BTW, after yesterday announcements at WWDC I wonder if there are some flying chairs at Redmond, Mr. Bald-mer is probably freaking out Cheers -J

Indeed, but "reverse engineered" and "Egyptian government snooping Skype calls" are quite different. Whilst some people may have rather foolishly relied on Skype for privacy, this is now not going to happen. I doubt it'll make a big dent on the user base though. -- Leigh Porter ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Skype privacy ? hehe, the only way to have privacy is under Control's cone of silence. Carrier Detected->Connected->LinkUp->PrivacyGone -J
