Microsoft buys Skype.

I hope they don't screw it up. Skype works well as it is, and I don't want them to "fix" too much stuff.

I've got a bad feeling about this. . .

Good thing is M$ has enough resources to permit them to keep a good portion of Skype's functionality free...but I also am wary of this purchase.

Yeah, I saw the title of this thread and pretty much immediately figured I would have to look for a Skype alternative. Hopefully they don't change much.

At the very least, you can bet that Skype for Mac, Linux, Android, and iWhatever will mysteriously be dumped into Lake Sammamish..
