| I really hope this isn't an April Fool's. Skype was an amazing platform. Then: * Removal of peer to peer * Windows UI redesign, away from classic usable Windows * Mac UI also changed to web-style (which (obviously personal opinion) was a real kick in the face to people who use Macs and valued Mac UI. The UI wasn't flashy. It worked and it fit the system.) * Emojis everywhere. I used to use it for work. I recall an eternally bouncing emoji for a while during every work call. Incredibly distracting. * Covid's opportunity completely missed. Zoom and the rest took over. * Oh, no-one's using Skype, I wonder why. If they brought back Skype as a well designed, native UI-first, peer to peer, secure, EU-governed platform it stands a chance of outstanding success. |
