To anyone using Skype for actual work, the problems with peer-to-peer messaging become rather obvious, as messages from one device appear only when both that device and the receiver are online, which gets really chaotic when communicating with more people at the same time.
Basically, the perception is "if you don't send the message when all of you are online, really weird things happen".

- mistermann 13y agoOne related thing that bothers me, if you use more than one computer for your Skype chats, the conversations aren't fully synchronized among your PC's. With always on supernodes, this is trivial, yet it still doesn't work. How Skype itself never fixed this, and MS after spending billions on the acquisition also still hasn't fixed it boggles my mind. If they're not fixing simple but very important bugs like this, what are all those developers working on?
