Cool, cheers looks so much better.

I totally love skype as they have just given me 6 months of free calls to landlines with their talk for Britian campaign.

[Rappy Veteran]

pretty cool...thanks for heads up :)

[HawkMan]

Skype is like ICQ and some other stuff.

perpetual beta state :)

[Sheppard]

Who cares when i can phone any landline/mobile in my country for a fraction of the cost it would cost with my mobile/landline.

[xxdesmus]

Sounds interesting, can't be any worse than v2.5 was :blink: :whistle:

[Sethos]

Can anyone tell me if I'm able to host more than 5 Man Conference calls with Skype?

Read something once, if you had Duel Core Processors you could host 10 Man calls is this true?

Perhaps another application able to host more than 5 people.

[DigitalE]

Awesome... Definitely going to download this when I get home.

In 3.0 limit was raised to 10 for all CPUs, so 10 participants in conference call for all.

I tested it, it's pretty good. Not taking more resources than 2.5 while providing some new features.

Addon for those who integrate it into their Windows installation CD (and our guide HowTo Do It ;))

I like the new UI.

thanks for the link

[Lazih3nri]

Doesn't look like there was too many differences. But I'll try it out.

Skype is overall a great app, but I hate the bubbly interface. I mean it's just...fat. You can't shrink the stupid thing to a decently small size. Yes, it's an aesthetic complaint, but for some reason the Skype GUI has always bugged me this way.

[none_needed]

i love this thing. (L)

[Crazysah]

Awsome. I am going to download it now.

[andrei]

Hello. The GUI looks nice but I have problems with receiving video. Does anybody have this problem also?

You might want to try the new compact mode then.

That was found to be an artificial limit.
