I've no idea if this is real or not, but if it is, it's pretty damning for Microsoft. I hope the author goes to court and wins!

From the article: "Short recap:" As far as I can tell this recap is a summary of the original email exchange which is available from a link in the article.

I haven't read it closely enough to confirm that the gist of each message corresponds, but I don't see any of the explicit, abusive language from Skype in the emails that shows up in the recap.

The original article is in Russian, and here for our mentality this is not such unacceptable sarcastic exaggeration. But it may be too strong for a Western reader. So this can be considered as a little translation glitch (IMO).

That is how the author sarcastically summarized the canned messages sent by Skype. Not very far from the truth, however.
