I get nagged nearly everyday to "upgrade". So today, I clicked the button.
Appearently, the new "feature" is a "click-to-call" capability. They show you photos of all your contacts, and you can just point and click to call them. Sounds cool, huh?
EXCEPT.... 98% of my contacts didn't post a photo. So instead, I get a bunch of image placeholders. And what's worse, they don't even bother to identify the contact unless you mouse-over first. With hundreds of contacts, who has time for that?
Idiots!! Their crack team of programmers should not assume that everyone uses Skype in the exact way they do.
I don't know which I am more annoyed by: The fact they they upgrade the user interface daily (and I use that term sarcastically), or the fact that their upgrades usually result in end-user confusion by relocating all the controls you used to know where they were.
Of course, I heard that Microsoft bought out Skype, and if there's any company out there that knows how to make a "new product" by updating a user interface and relocating all the controls - it's Microsoft!
OK - Rant off. But Skype, if you're listening. STOP IT. Bad dog.!
