Sorry, no, popping up a window on my screen is not comparable to a co-worker walking up to my desk. Not even remotely close.
This is so contrived, it hurts...
And then, on your homepage:
This is a big part of the reason teams are much less productive when they're spread apart.

I don't think you're doing yourselves a favor by pushing the age old "it's just like being there"-fairytale. You can insult the intelligence of your audience like that when you're a Vodafone or a Samsung, but not when you're trying to sell a product (and likely to a largely technical audience).
The question that you have to answer on your homepage is: Why not Skype?
Do that in bold, front and center. Don't bore me with marketing lorem ipsum...
