Duration of ownership: 3 Years
Strengths: i downloaded this piece of junk before other messenger's were offering voice chat but i always kept a few $'s to text some1 with a long sms text
Weaknesses: the voice quality is that of 2 tin cans with fishing line between them and the video when it worked had at least a 2-3 minute lag time.customer service is non-existent for all practical purposes and it will become a money pit if you let it because they will not credit you back a dime.
Overall Evaluation: STAY AWAY AND RUN FOR YOUR LIFE AND HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR WALLET

Duration of ownership: 1 Months
Strengths: Readily available
Weaknesses: NO SUPPORT. Was never able to complete a call with a Skype phone. A PC based call was worse in quality that MSN or Yahoo. Two tin cans and a string has better quality.
Overall Evaluation: The company provided a phone number for my account that was already in use by a Verizon residential customer, then were unable to correct it and would only require me to purchase yet another number. They would only reply every other day and then only to request information totally irrelevant to the problem.

Strengths: Excellent tutoring programs available for it.
Weaknesses: Horrobly complicated to use, it added flase security, and put a virus/trojan on my computer
Overall Evaluation: IT continues to try and put viruses on my computer, and I have to halt internet traffik to make it stop.

Duration of ownership: 18 Months
Strengths: Lots of people have it
Weaknesses: Unnecessary restrictions, unreliable audio and video interface, generates large numbers of page faults, NON-EXISTANT SUPPORT
Overall Evaluation: The new Skype 3.6 release includes "High Quality Video" - but only for users with one of three "anointed" (and expensive) Logitech webcams, and at least a Dual Core CPU (not even Dual Processor systems will work). It was proven during the public beta test phase that other systems and cameras could produces HQV, so why was this general ability removed, and HQV restricted only to "blessed" systems? Also, Skype produces anywhere from 700 to 10,000 Page Faults PER SECOND, even when it is idle. Last but not least, Skype Support is NON-EXISTANT. It takes a minimum of four days to get any response at all, and then the responses are always irrelevant or inane. Very, Very disappointing.
