Skype is OK OK.

I never use Skype, I did try it several times... never liked them.

 

[JClarke]

For me Skype is the main software that we, deaf australians use for ACE VRS (Australian Communicaiton Exchange Video Relay Service)

How long before we see that "blue screen of death" on our Skype App?

 

[Chevy57]

I hope that Apple adds many features to FaceTime this WWDC, like IM, file transfers, make it more like iChat/Skype/MSN/Aim all merged together.
