     @dennisgut I suppose what I'm saying is, we were asleep at the wheel and let Skype get way too far ahead & it may be hard to catch now

     i dont understand this argument "the real problem Linux has with microsoft is almost everyone uses it", so we should use windows?

     If we support FOSS VoIP software, then the development with the alternatives can be faster.
