One day I was poking around my desktop and found that Ekiga had come preinstalled. I fired it up and was dutifully impressed with all the "new and exciting" features they promoted. (This was about 3 versions ago). I liked that it loaded up the first time quickly and seamlessly, and walked me through getting my very own free SIP address. Then when I tried actually using it I discovered to my chagrin that everybody I know uses Skype. My account is still around somewhere, and probably still active, but I have nothing that I can do with it. Maybe people will migrate from Skype, but maybe not.
