I disagree.Skype is a great alternative to iChat.
Whenever my clients don't have iChat, I try to persuade them to get it for several weeks, if this doesn't work I will say that we can't do business together and if that fails, I'll tell them, FINE LETS USE SKYPE GODDAMIT

I'm looking forward to the Microsoft Windows Live 7 Home Professional Edition Express stock photography branding and the must-have MSN login.

as long as it continues on like it is now, i'll be happy. i use it daily and am yet to run into any of the bugs that are so often mentioned about it... fingers crossed

The next few years will be very interesting. MS will either boom or slowly burn (I think it is a 50/50 bet). If they can bring Office, Xbox to their phones and Nokia can make something decent, monetize Skype, then they'll have a lot in their corner.
