With the purchase of Skype by Microsoft, there’s a question that has been bugging me for quite a while.
Why Skype?
What properties made Skype the 800lbs gorilla of software phones?
I think I have a few ideas.
1) Video. Even though it took a while to get video working on Linux, it does work and works pretty well.
2) Cross Platform. A Skype account established on Windows, used on Linux, talking to someone on a Mac, they work and knowing one makes sense of the others.
