Skype: Upgrade in Reverse

kevindevin.com In the Trenches – Tech Chat – 02-26-2005:

“My apologies for the sound quality it seems the more updates that Skype provides, the more functionality it breaks. It took us nearly an entire hour to get this Tech Chat going but we prevailed in the end!”

Man, this was annoying. Indeed, each Skype update seems to remove features. This is not a good sign, and Skype needs to start communicating with its users and explaining itself. Oh, and how’s this for a change log entry?

  • change: improved forced upgrade procedure

I’d ask, improved for whom?
