Skype

By September 2, 20035 Comments

From the company that brought you peer-to-peer filesharing through Kazaa – Peer-to-peer phone calls! Skype is a MSN Messenger style application that The Register analyses in detail. It presumably has a shedload of spyware, if past experience tells us anything…

    So what’s the point if MSN Messenger does the trick? If it aint broke don’t fix it. Pass the abacus to the luddite in the corner…

    ahhh, but, you see, a lot of us don’t use MSN Messenger, you see. Like me…

    MSN messenger is very good, but there is a snag. The day MSN decide not to run the server it goes through is the day every one relying on it loses contact with their friends.

    I understand that Skype is peer to peer and sound only so I don’t know what it so new about it.

    Netmeeting will connect to the other party just by entering his/her IP and give you video and file transfer too.

    Regards Allan.

    So what IS the difference between Skype and MSN Messenger??? I seriously want to know. More tecnical information is welcome . Thanks!

    Skype has incredible sound quality. And that’s it’s major bonus. MSN can do Audio and video conversations, but the quality of it makes it barely worth doing. And another thing – Skype can call landlines now…
