Um no compare like things please. One was an alteration to make a program more user friendly to a large group. While you might not like it and find it harder to use and access believe it or not it accomplished it's goal. The other option on the other hand was removing a feature that a lot of people used. This is not like the send money feature witch I agreed with this is a feature that people were using all the time and loved. If you were concerned about confusing people then what should have been done is removed it tell an option was checked in the advanced section of the option check box. Ok they can remove things like skype me. But they can't fix all of the duplicate options in the menu. Sigh.

Well, if you going to look at it that way, Skype made the choice for all of us changing the design and other things in version 4.0. If I want to use this version I have to learn (again) all the Skype shortcuts, all the new scripts shortcuts and literarly play jazz on my keyboard to make things work. I don't like it as just as you don't like removing of "Skype me" mode, but what can ve do about it? I stack on 3.8 because of the appearance and i have "Skype me" mode eventhough I never use it, so is this just one more reason to downgrade or I'm mistakin'? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Grimsby Jr." <[email protected]> To: "'screen access software with skype'" <skypeenglish at emissives.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 10:09 PM Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] FW: Why we removedSkypeMe! fromSkype4.0forWindows > It all boils down to personal preference. > Yep it did tell skype made the choice for you buy removing it. no more > personal preference anymore! > -----Original Message----- > From: skypeenglish-bounces at emissives.com > [mailto:skypeenglish-bounces at emissives.com] On Behalf Of Cindy > Courterielle > Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 1:52 PM > To: screen access software with skype > Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] FW: Why we removed SkypeMe! > fromSkype4.0forWindows > > Hi! > > If people want something like the Skype Me feature, then that's fine.
