lovely.

the sooner i can remove skype from my life the better.

that said, why can't any of these phone systems deal with the use case of two people trying to call each other and then simply auto connect the two calls? why does one side have to drop the call and answer the other?

[quicklyfrozen]

Because if you're calling someone you expect them to say hello. It's not that easy to explain to a user that the call they just placed was dropped and they're really now answering a call.

I doubt thats the actual reason.

[Spooky23]

Telephone use case has been around for a over a century. Fucking with the UI won't go over well.

To paraphrase all the other recently disrupted industries.

I can't stand Skype's sign in/closing experience. Linking my original Skype account with a Microsoft email definitely broke something. Also why do I have to tell it to exit in 3 different ways to get it to finally exit for real!?
