Skype five is about the same as 4.2 so far I have seen nothing in this version that I can't live with out. Not only that but it is in beta so you would be well advised to leave it alone for now. This is coming from a person who just had to have it to play with it. Lol

When I do upgrade from XP I will purchase Windows 7 from the store inside the bookstore for I think fifty something dollars (U.S.). Since I am a student I can purchase it from them at a reduced rate. I also have a Dell laptop 1545 running JAWS 10 as well as two other computers. I just thought I would be the voice for the less fortunate and play the Devil's advocate for a little bit. Hoping that people would see the other side of the coin like i think Sara had mentioned earlier. Also I am waiting on reports of the accessibility to come back whether Skype 5 is or is not better than the Skype 4.2 that I currently have.
