The longer MS ignores Skype on linux, the happier I'll be. Unlike the Windows version, it's at least usable and a great deal more stable (in my experience, anyway)
Precisely. Like Pidgin using the MSN network, it didn't have any of the problems that Windows Live Messenger had (like shutting down when Microsoft wished it and forcing you over to Skype - the network itself kept running just fine for 2 years after that point).
