SKYPE SECURITY FLAWS

IN summary, not only is skype suject to typical PC hacking since its a desktop app and MSFT has the least secure desktop in history,SKYPE now has the worst phone service in history. It has no Quality of Service- the number one defining characteristic of any real time service like voice or real time video- as in video phone of operating remotely, or real time data for sensitive applications is that they need to have paths provisioned for them across the net. A Public net has NO SUCH capability and SKYPE cannot convince me they have invented a way- that is why SKYPE goes to the PSTN for serious users that use SKYPE for anything serious. SKYPE may be fun to play with for ou guys selling on ebay but for a family emergency- your serious business phone etc. it does NOT cut it. SOON you will replace your SKYPE with AOL phone or Earthlink Phone or ATT CAllvantage all wich have guaranteed carrier quality voice for 30 a month just like VONAGE but they will have triple play too...Baba
