make Internet phone calls Skype is a user friendly video and text messaging software, that allows you to make free Internet phone and HD video calls to any Skype user, anywhere in the world. The sound quality is as good or even better than regular phones, and requires no additional equipment, besides a normal PC microphone or headset. The Skype interface is similar to popular instant messenger clients and allows you to create a profile, with optional picture, that will be displayed when you call other Skype users or receive incoming call. Skype is very easy to use, and works with firewalls and NAT without any additional configuration changes. Basically, all you have to do is download, select a Skype username and you are ready to make or receive calls. Copyright Snapfiles.com

Great for windows, too simple on Linux 4 stars by trimax Jun 09, 2013 (Read all my 2 reviews)
Skype is my number 1 messanger. However I'm working in mixed envrionments and sometimes I use Linux. The Linux version is stripped down and very simplified alternative. I doubt that Microsoft - the new owner of Skype - we'll pay more focus on the Linux version to make it catch up with the Windows counter part. showShow review details
Skype was better when it was simpler 3 stars by ekimsnevets301 Feb 17, 2013
I loved Skype a few years ago. In fact I wouldn't even be participating in this review had I not been browsing online for something new to replace skype. Back in the day it seemed like I always got very good audio and video resolution and it was a program that stayed in the background unless you wanted it to seen. I am afraid like most all good things after it becomes noticed it is starting to get bogged down and intrusive. With Microsoft involved it can only get worse. I don't need ultra safe security that bogs everything down. I need simple, clear video communication. If someone wants to listen in while I'm video calling my wife and kids overseas be my guest but you need to get a life. showShow review details
Good program! 5 stars by mark_92812504 Jan 14, 2013 (Read all my 3 reviews)
I use this program for communication with my friends as well as for in-office discussions. It is easy to use and does not need a lot of attetion. Just commercials sometimes irritate but it is a small flaw. Good! showShow review details
