For countless end-users; the overwhelming majority are in all probability hopeful that Skype’s latest disruption is nothing serious. For Redmond; all bets are that they did not just pay the amount that they did for… well, a company that has consistently underperformed (and has more technical challenges than their due-diligence surely must have uncovered, right?)
Granted, that might sound a bit harsh but most people tolerate Skype because it is free more so than desire to use it because their signal quality is consistently high; their connections rarely drop and their calls always go through (which is anything but the truth).
