Version 4.0 now available as of 29th May 2008, however it requires 10.5 Leopard. Don't worry Tiger users, version 3.6 will continue to be supported.

I use this on Tiger, and feel that while they promise support those of us unable, for technical reasons to migrate, they are doing a disservice to the users who bought RW in good faith.

I would expect this sort of decision from the suits of a large company.

If you want brand loyalty, respect your customers especially the ones that assisted you when you needed them by buying the product.

For the most part for me, Skype performs as intended but I still get 1 in 7 (average) SMS stuck as 'pending' meaning I am never sure if the message was received at the other end by the intended recipient so I end up calling them.

Apparently this is more to do with the cell phone network not always sending a 'successful delivery' flag back to Skype. So you may find some cell phone networks behave better than others.

It works... just.

This get a strange feeling with this "gift" / "group hug"... :(

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype:
"One major problem with Skype is that its source code is not open source, and therefore cannot be inspected by most people - including most security specialists - for back doors that can be exploited by hackers or government agents. Security specialist Bruce Schneier said (...) that "In the cryptography world, we consider open source necessary for good security; we have for decades."
(...)
A third party paper analyzing the security and methodology of Skype was presented at Black Hat Europe 2006. It analyzed Skype and made these observations:
(...)
* Assumes a 'blind trust' of anything else speaking Skype
* No way to know if there is or will be a 'backdoor'
* Skype has been found to access BIOS data to identify individual computers and provide DRM protection for plug-ins.
* Skype is owned by eBay, whose privacy policy is perhaps the least protective of customers of any large corporation. (...)
