I was a big fun of ubuntu, and used it on my desktops and laptops, but in last few years Skype became a major tool for me, to communicate with my team, and since there is still no good Skype for Linux, I no longer use ubuntu. On a desktop I use Mac OS, laptop is no longer my central tool, and most of the work from the road I do on my iPad. Thinking to get a book air for long trips, where iPad just can't cut it yet :)

also, unity so far has been a disaster... I know about 5 friends who still use ubuntu, they couldn't use it with unity, and I helped them to get old gnome back. Hopefully unity will gets better, but this change I think was too big and wasn't optional. I think they lost a lot of users because of it.

But I still use ubuntu on some servers of mine.

Use skype (w/ video) on android.

I fully expect Microsoft to drop Skype support for Linux .. or atleast give a seriously stunted binary to get around anti-trust, that I am using Android as my full-on communication tool, including video conferencing.

I see skype-video on the S5PV210 Samsung chipset android tablets already (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfwI1c93KqA). Atleast in Asia, you can get resistive 8 inchers with Gingerbread for sub-$200.

What are you talking about? You can just apt-get install skype, if you enable the partner repository. Or do you mean to say the linux skype version is not as good? Agree with you on unity.

I use Skype with video every week on Ubuntu. No problems.
