Skype 3.0: let’s end it here…

Skype 3.0 is available for download. (Well, for Windows that is). Since it leaps from 2.5 to 3.0 I was expecting major new features. However, it’s a little disappointment. With its’ 20MB download it’s more bloated than ever.
Among the new features are:
- Rich Mood Messages
- Connection Wizard
- API: rich mood messages
- API: public chat support
- API: FILE TRANSFER object
However, the biggest change is the option to play games! What in the world do we need that for? History is full of applications that went downhill after they got to bloated. Remember ICQ anyone?
To the developers of Skype: let’s end it here and concentrate on voice and video. And maybe it’s time to update the Mac and Linux client too?

Stay away from Skype3.0, just d/l it and it nearly crashed my machine… And way slow… Classical mistake, Skype have finally gone over the magic limit from simple & useful to gadget overflow with complexity, how sad.
Now I have to find the old version to reinstall…
