It'd be nice if they would have responded with more than 'use this outdated version of Skype.' 2.8 is fine for my needs, but I worry about the day Skype decides I _have_ to upgrade like the last time I booted Windows. It seems from the previous blog post that a Skype employee agreed with most of his points and apparently fought for the sane UI choices during development, but why then were these issues ignored? It seems like the future will be no different. I for one really wish Skype had some decent competition.
