>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.

>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.
