The most popular messenger on Windows

Skype is a peer-to-peer Internet telephone network founded by the entrepreneurs Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis, also founders of the file sharing application Kazaa. Skype can be used to call people anywhere in the world for free. It competes against existing open VoIP protocols such as SIP, IAX, and H.323. The Skype Group, acquired by eBay in October 2005, is headquartered in Luxembourg, with offices in London, Tallinn and Prague.

    It's ok, but it's not very user friendly. Many features doesn't exist or is hidden in weird places, the guys creating this really needs to go an HCI course

    What else can I say? This app has the native chatting and video calling system just like the other messengers out there.

    However, I just got amazed on how beautiful the interface is on Mac. I think the developer has really made a good job on this one.

    I also like the group chatting system in Skype since you could always follow your friends' conversations even after you've gone offline.

    Skype saves the entire conversations history which is a good thing to keep track with whatever your friends were talking. It also has that 'quoting' and 'deleting' system to put a full control of your conversations.

    It has some qwirks and doesnt work very well on linux. But it is easy to learn and is a simple way to call grandma or just IM for awile.
