skype was way ahead of his time. The quality was top notch. MS fucked by changing the architecture from decentralized to centralized in windows servers - this fucked up the calls quality and it created an opportunity window for whatsapp, viber, etc...
MS turned skype to shit.
I'll never get over MSN Messenger
For video calls that was really bad compared to skype.
Unfortunately everybody was using it (i had to do it because everybody was using it).
Welk Yeah, it wasn't for video calls, it was for messages full of emoticons :)
