> I'm well aware that Skype did not change for the better after MS took over

While I'm acutely aware of the negative impact various changes had on privacy, cf the leaked documents referencing it, however I'm not sure that statement is blanketly true.

I can now have Skype running on my phone where previously it used to drain the battery in a few hours flat. That is, personally, a huge improvement.

Another thing I've noticed is I get both better video quality (when I use video, I prefer audio only) and I get less disconnects due to "network" reasons.

I meant that - in case the context did not make it abundantly clear - from a privacy perspective, not from a usability perspective.
