I'm getting really sick of the stupid Microsoft remarks. I'm a Mac / Apple guy through and through, but it's just so annoying all the people saying things are going to shit the second M$ gets them, even though when the problem obviously has nothing to do with M$.

You are really funny. You pretend to be the grown-up here and still write M$.

Skype was reclassified by kids from "awesome software" to "proprietary crap" as soon as Microsoft bought it.

I was hating on Skype way before it was cool. ("What, SIP? It's a pretty obscure protocol; you probably haven't heard of it.")

Try IAX/IAX2, a NAT-transparent VoIP protocol.

I know it's an annoying 90s in-joke, but let's be honest, these instability problems did start happening weeks after Microsoft bought the company. It might not be what trolls suggest but it's certainly some coincidence..!

The instability problems like the major downtime in December, 5 months before Microsoft bought them?

I don't remember that. I use it at work and I've only noticed that there have been a lot more instability problems over the last month. Previous to that it's felt rock-solid to me...
