If Google decides to enters the Desktop Operating System market, Microsoft will be dead in a decade.
I don't think so. There's Chrome OS.

WhatsApp killed Skype. And buried it!
No. Microsoft did. I still use Skype. The thing now is that Microsoft wants us to subscribe and purchase their products. Skype can make you call anyone and was like a database for emails. Skype replaced Yahoo Instant Messenger which ironically is still on NL profile. What's your YIM? smiley

Well microsoft no improve just as andriod has failed to improve andriod 8 all we have now is changing theme same with Microsoft keep changing Startisback for people I think after XP window 7 remains the best ever since then Microsoft have been producing nonsense.

Goggle meet is a video messanger app?
NiceLegs:
I used to hear of Skype.

I always wondered what it was like. I had always wanted to try it.

I use to hear people say they use it to chat with people abroad.

But I never used it.

No regrets.

Love WhatsApp Video, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet.

I have used all these ones and I'm fulfilled.

Why do Nigerians like saying stupid things like this? I'll never understand it. Microsoft is the third most valuable company in the world. THIRD.
This is just one product they're discontinuing. They have tons of successful products which continue to thrive. Teams is a replacement which they own that will integrate Skype users. You would have known this if you bothered to read before commenting.
How stupid are people on the Internet for God's sake?
What is wrong with you?

Microsoft Windows has 73% of worldwide usage, followed by Apple's macOS at 14%, Linux at 4.1%, then Google's ChromeOS at 1.9%. Say that again?

Thank you, would not have responded to the half-wit - if I saw this.

Microsoft got so powerful, the USG had to break it in half, and it is still running the world. Nigerian youth have gone the way of the dodo.

You will be surprised at the amount of stupid people on this forum. Most Nigerians don't read/research on anything meaningful. I made a comment how Skype failed under Microsoft and same thing happened to Nokia only for one caveman to emerge from only God knows where and accuse me off copying his comment on another thread , to think this is publicly available information since 2011 and i even did internship at the Skype SEA office in Malaysia. Sometimes it's just better to ignore these fools.

Mozilla Firefox. This was at one time the number one competitor to Internet Explorer before Chrome came into the picture. However with Chrome now being a system hog and its messing around with privacy, more people are returning to Firefox. Firefox uses less system resources and offers better privacy.

However I read on Reddit that Firefox is now messing around with privacy options as well and I am contemplating Brave.
