90% skype users  ( 14 Millions ) don't even use the callout service. they
just want to call their friends on their computer and use the webcam. Webcam
is a killer app , we all know this.

I hate skype and the system behind it but what you say is not true. Usually
, the tehnics and ethics behind a software does not influence people choice.
as long as the software does not cost money , is easy and work well without
any stupid ads or malware, they will use it forever. Look how ubuntu users
wanted ekiga to be removed from defailt ubuntu and be replaced with some
skype shit. that shows how even freeOS users don't care... so Windows
users...


To carry on your thoughts I guess :

- User agent detection to launch the right download as most Websites would
be great. ( at least for windows and mac ( Xmeeting ? ) )

- Static Build for Linux would be great, it's just too complicated to
support the 100 distros. ( I tried to generate a static but failed ..)

Dotan , your remarks are really appreciated and shared IMO. Ekiga website i=

make it even easier than Skype/MSN/otherShit. <br><br>But : <br><br><div cl=
