What really saddens me is that this confirms all the conspiracy rumors. Wasn't it always just a rumor going around that the U.S. Government "made" Microsoft buy Skype for spying purposes? Well: "10 May 2011, Microsoft Corporation acquired Skype Communications" and on 2/6/11 Skype was added to the US spy program [1] They were so eager to spy on Skype users that they implemented that "feature" even before the deal was officially done. Considering that Skype had been around since 2003 the events don't appear very accidental. Wouldn't surprise to find out one day that the Skype acquisition was indirectly tax-payer funded.
