Skype just became a problem

Hi, In every software development case, you must solve a problem. Skype lately has become a problem. For example, I am online, but my skype is offline. I am chatting with people with an offline skype. I bet the next big thing after 3d Websites will be a www.ismyskypeok.com/skypefixes. Just my thought, but what are peeps at Microsoft doing?

Probably trying to run everything on a Microsoft platform (No pun intended Microsoftees...) :-). On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 10:26 AM, Paul Kevin <paultitude@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, a true Microsoft hater... just for your information, Microsoft has not YET acquired skype. So any problems with Skype are not YET Microsoft's responsibility. Give them a break. The same old engineers are the ones hacking at skype since 2003. So they are the ones to rant at. Secondly I have experienced the same problem... I mean confusion. You might be invisible not offline. They have similar icons so its very easy to think you are offline yet you arent. But again I could be wrong ----- "Paul Kevin" <paultitude@gmail.com> wrote:

No, Hotmail was not developed by Microsoft, they purchased it in 1997.

actually Hotmail ran on freeBSD (and cyrus iirc) even quite a while after it was purchased by M$. only after this got public it was migrated to windows. On Tue, Jun 21, 2011 at 9:57 AM, Philip Musyoki <pmusyoki@gmail.com> wrote:

So Hotmail went to the dogs ?

Skype has just reached #EPIC #FAIL status. If your net is to disconnect, then it comes back, Skype will automatically crash On Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 12:25 AM, ndungu stephen <ndungustephen@gmail.com>wrote:
