if you still have this website....I have a stupid question - can you run BOTH Skype and Messenger on the same computer? because one friend has Messenger for his webcam, and another has Skype for hers - and I don't know what to do - I have Messenger and love it, no problems at all and don't want to change, but would try Skype if it wouldn't mess up the Messenger program! thanks for any info if you're still there!

I notice on the article Why Skype is Bad that at the bottom of the page, Copyright Microsoft appears. It's not biased then>?

Vijay,

let me say that I believe this is coming, but today Live Communicator is the answer.

I'll do a little research on this and get back to you.

ttfn

Well said, finally someone willing to challenge Skype! It's bad because it uses a proprietary closed protocol and what can it interoperate with! The answer is itself!

Windows Messenger uses the SIP protocol which is an industry standard protocol for call handling. What I'd like to see is Windows Messenger be able to be configured as a standard SIP client.

Cheers,

Vijay
