I wouldn't be so sure about FaceTime having no chance. Skype has enough weak spots to begin with.

At least in Europe, Skype is the only recognized brand in VoIP. Even my grandfather knows what it means to call someone on Skype.

How will FaceTime catch up? Should Apple offer a Windows version, like they did with iTunes and Safari?

Probably starts after (or when) Lion is available.

Lion is a niche product. Anything Apple wants to do to make an impact starts after/when iOS, not Lion.
