Skype is a peer-to-peer Internet telephony network founded by the entrepreneurs Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis, also founders of the file sharing application Kazaa. It competes against existing open VoIP protocols such as SIP, IAX, and H.323. The Skype Group, acquired by eBay in October 2005, is headquartered in Luxembourg, with offices in London, Tallinn and Prague.

SKYPEP~1.EXE
Most of the add-ons could use some work, but the program itself is wonderful. Other chat programs feel so basic in comparison.
Its my life. Usefull, clean.
This is sooo crap, I only use it because that's what everybody else at work currently uses.
Skype is just must-have...
I use it for video chatting but I could be persuaded pretty easily to trying something else.
O melhor programa de VoIP sem sombra d dúvidas.
skype is bloated and heavy nowadays, and the sound fx are horrible. it works though, and it's superb at transferring large files fast and reliable.
Gotta has my skype!!!!
if you have broadband, you can use it for gaming, too. Very nice sound quality.
Skype is perfect for calling with house phones in other countries. It makes sure I don't pay a lot of money to talk to my family, which is important.
I don't use a lot of Skype-To-Skype, but when I have I have noticed that almost all the problems the communication has are because of the poor quality of the microphones used or the poor connection people use or because of the fact that their computer is infested with all sorts of spyware and viruses that cause it to lag tremendously. If you don't know how to take care of your pc, don't blame the programs you use for it.
best tool yet for personal video-conferencing and talking...whether its a mac or windows
only opensource...
other sip-based program better
I think it is a great software. Am surpriced by all bad comments it got....of course it is not the best IM tool around, but it has a lot of other functions others (Gtalk,Messenger etc) don't have. If you need to phone friends around the world or have good videocalls Skype is a good choise. Interesting functions (sms, answering machine,etc) need some money credit on account.
I hate this piece of software but it has somehow become the de facto standard for business communications.
Great Idea, Bad performance
