Would be nice to see more people reading this...I'll pass it along.
I have had nothing buth problems with Skype since they were purchased by Microsoft. I'ts been corrupted 3 times and I had enough. I will never use them again. And trying to contact anyone in Skype support is an extreme joke. I can only imagine that their support team is located somewhere on the planet Jupiter.
As for Microstoft, after having a hotmail account with them for years, recently I was using that account longer than normal, and they blocked me because of suspicious activity on my own account. Of course, it is going through 1,000 loops of BS to re-activate my account and access it again. Luckily, I had everything accomplished and will choose not to re-activate this account.
Everyone should know by now what MSN did by selling us out to the government. And if you don't know, they have allowed the NSA, etc...to access our accounts easily and that includes Skype.
Skype is part of MSN now...and don't forget what they did. As well as Yahoo and Google. Don't be fooled, because of government pressure, they can and do read your private emails, watch your videos chatting and anything else they want to do. The right to privacy is gone. And we allow it to happen. Keep the fight people!
