They're not a monopoly, and they're not forcing anyone to use software they don't want. There's a bunch of different options if you don't like Skype. I've used GoToMeeting in the recent past, and it worked fine. The problem is that people are just too stupid to look for alternatives to Microsoft products, and would rather complain than do something about it.
- Pica_soO 9y agoOh, my, the customers got stupider. They could use the old skye just fine, but then the IQ sank - and its been rock bottom ever since. Completely impplaussible that maybe those stupid people do not use the alternatives, because they suck even more? As in, they are non standardized, not easy to setup et etc.
- magduf 9y ago>They could use the old skye just fine The old Skype was great. But it's gone now; that's how the world works: things change, and not always for the better. You have to adapt. >Completely impplaussible that maybe those stupid people do not use the alternatives, because they suck even more? Given all the complaints I've seen about new-Skype? No. It's because people are just too stupid to look for alternatives when the thing they've been using turns to crap. >As in, they are non standardized, not easy to setup et etc. The newer alternatives are web-based and easy (or, at least, no more difficult than new-Skype). And WTF does "standardized" mean? There's no standardization for video chat programs; that makes as much sense as asking about standardization for social media websites like Facebook.
