Skype.
- rainbowmverse 8y agoThat acquisition was almost 7 years ago under the old leadership.
- zeth___ 8y agoSo skype isn't shit any more?
- rainbowmverse 8y agoYou didn't say anything about that. I've never used it, so I don't know anything about its quality.
- saagarjha 8y agoWhich has recently gone even more steeply downhill now that they've tried to push React/Electron everywhere.
- tajen 8y agoNokia too, although it didn’t affect people directly, as opposed to the series of ultrabad decisions on Skype. Acquisitions aren’t always successful with Microsoft.
- krick 8y agoFunny enough, I don't feel that way about Skype anymore. Yeah, Microsoft destroyed it, but, on the other hand, why did I even use it? Right, because there was nothing else back then, and Skype was "good enough". And everyone else was using it. Even though, honestly, it always was some buggy proprietary piece of shit, dragging all that legacy of the Delphi era into 201x. If anything, it may be even good it's not so dominant anymore, even though we still don't have anything decent to completely replace it.
