Also skype harvested users computers. I noticed that when skype was running the harddrive will be constantly accessed, on an otherwise idle computer. Checking with process explorer showed that skype has a lot of disk reads (hundreds of MB). This was the reason why it got uninstalled. But people are happy with microsoft products. - "They need telemetry to improve the product". - "But there is no improvement. The product is even worse". - "Maybe it's your experience, i already feel better using the new product". or - "I have nothing to hide. They are my friends". What happens when the regime is changed ? ( see Afganistan).

I believe Skype is dead by now for average users. Some still use it in business environments, but they sure did a good job in getting rid of it. Without much success though, since people just use other products.

I'm not so sure about that. I've been seeing it around more than I'd like recently. I even had to use it to talk to my thesis' supervisors.
