That being said, I think that unless Microsoft really works hard to keep Linux clients from connecting, there will be a Linux client for Skype, even if it's not an "authorized" client. The community will probably write one and put it out there. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Scott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2011 10:40 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Microsoft Buys Skype for 8.5 Billion in cash deal On Tue, May 10, 2011 at 7:51 AM, Ziots, Edward <[email protected]> wrote: > http://gigaom.com/2011/05/09/why-microsoft-is-buying-skype-for-8-billi > on/ Anyone want to start a pool on how long it is before they discontinue the Linux Skype client? -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
