| "Good, but a bit obtrusive" It's a useful and nice looking software. However, I don't like it when a software is so obtrusive. Right after installation it starts Skype without asking the user. This is impertinent!

| "Brilliant!" Skype 3 is the best version of skype yet. Bloatware? I agree file size is getting quite large, but you can use UPX to reduce the file size to 10Mb. This is not bloatware, it's not adware, it's a great tool. My business operates in 5 locations around australia, and by using skype and it's very friendly interface, we have cut our phone bills dramatically. Other programs were tried, but failed to live up to expectations. As soon as 3 became public, we started using that, and never looked back.
Skype-in is something that our company has found incredibly useful - now each staff member can have their own phone number for external calls in whilst they are at work, and, voicemail when they're not. Great work skype, keep it up - maybe just reduce the file size before release but either way UPX makes it reasonable size for me.

| "Bloatware" Sorry mate! I am a user not competitor. I would not install Skype 3, use 2.5 Beta instead if you can find it!

| "Bloatware myth" the bloatware myth is being spread
by Skypes competitors
(You know the same guys who spam skype forums and peoples blogs and message boards)
I'm using this on a PIII-650 laptop with 128MB RAM and runs smoooth as glass even with XP Pro
which my laptop is barely qualified to even run.
No Adware
No spyware
Yes some of the plugins are not
free but for every one that costs $$$ there is a free one available.
Skype does not attempt to force you to use paid plugins.
128 Million registered users
and an average of 4+ million
online at any given time on Skype
the competition is forced to act
like idiots making up bullsh*t lies and resorting to spam
to get customers (Whom they generaly rip off and give poor service to)
Skype 3 is great and runs even on
older systems with a bare amount of ram.

| "Bloatware" Beware of the new Skype 3, it's full bloatware and a resource hogg and its new so-called "plug-in" feature is actually a back-door to adware and more not-free bloatware

| "Bloatware" I have always liked Skype, but BEWARE Skype 3 is BLOATWARE, it tries to take over your PC and is a memory and CPU hog. If you download it choose the "option" button and do not let it install SkypePM.
You have been warned!!!

| "Excellent!" When I found out about Skype, I 'forced' my friends to get Skype too. The quality of the PC-PC calls is great.

| "A lot of hype here!" Skype rhymes with hype. The quality is fair- not good. The line matters of course. Described as highly secure? A highly secure phone call? Please-- Don't insult my intelligence any more.

| "Very good" "Boo" Skype does both PC-PC and PC-phone calls. Skype is offering PC-Phone calls anywhere in the US/Canada for FREE until Dec 31 2006.
AIM charges money for PC-Phone
and MSN doesn't allow calling to phones.
Skype PC-PC calls are ALWAYS free
and will remain so.
the only way a company can do PC-phone calls for free is if they pay the bills and or pay for it with advertising. The phone companies DO need to get paid for their end of the call ya know.
