WhatsApp killed Skype. And buried it!
WhatsApp killed Skype. Zoom buried it. Even with WhatsApp, you still needed Skype for online interviews. Zoom and Google meet ended that shit.

Have you used Teams? Teams is a better and robust version of Skype. Login to Teams with your Skype account and password and you can continue to enjoy the same great package on a better platform.

Skype was the number 1 video call/messaging app for years until Microsoft acquired it, don't say what you don't know.
They are always good at blowing something progressive out into pieces

Did same with Nokia and Lumia

You see, when you write, read first. MS Teams, is Microsoft Teams. It is an APP that works like those other apps you mentioned.

LOL. Microsoft is one of the most innovative companies in the world almost every year. Their financials have not been better: a net income of a whooping $88 billion on a revenue of less than $250 billion rank then higher on net profit margin than Apple. They are one of the top five most profitable companies in the world. Few months ago, they are the most valuable company in the world, now they are third. This moment is one of the best moment in their history, and for their investors, Microsoft is one of the most stable company's stock to hold. They are global leader in PC software by far, second biggest in search technology, one of the global leader in data analytics tools, etc etc.
Which Microsoft are you talking about sir?

Microsoft bought Skype and totally ruined it, same thing with Nokia.
They actually bought out their competition. They had no good plans for the platform.

I don't think so. There's Chrome OS.
Touché, just checked, Desktop isn't even their major source of revenue, server and cloud are. So even if another company competes in the desktop os market, it won't be enough to take them out with their hold on Azure and server OS. As at Q3 2024, Azure was doing better than Google Cloud with 20% and 12% market shares respectively (according to statistica.com).

Thanks for sharing your insight.

Omo people really dey stupid for this life. This kind of your stupidity like this dem suppose castrate you make you no come born more fools like you. I did my internship in 2010 at Skype SEA office in Kuala Lumpur and i was a participant in the Microsoft Imagine Cup so i know a lot about Microsoft and Skype, way more than you can ever know and you think i have to wait for an illiterate like you to make a comment for me to piggy-back on it? You are just a delusional idiot in case you don't know and never in your miserable life you ever mention me on this forum. Wawa Akuya!
Bros., how far?

Same as Skype. Messaging and calls.
Re: Microsoft To Shut Down Skype After 21 Years by Love800(m): 8:49pm On Mar 01, 2025
Great. Thanks so much.
Which one is brave pls? Na app?
Druss:
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.
