Skype 4.0 Ugh!!!! what have they done to what was a good looking program

I have just downloaded the new Skype 4.0 Beta to see what it looked like. The next thing I did after that was rush to the toilet to throw up because what hit me in the face when it started was an absolute monster of a program.

The program starts in full screen mode and when I say full screen mode it literally fills your screen with the option panel now on the left hand side and to top this there is NO provision to start it minimised in the tool bar. If you want to see what I mean have a look here then after that move onto the video showing you all about it here.

While you are watching this video please pay very careful attention to what the people on the video say. One of the comment that both people made was to say they have listened to what the customer wants well if that is so why have they now produced this bloated load of rubbish and called it a step forward into the feature, do they think we are all stupid or something. The new package reminds me of the very first cell phones that came out, one small neat hand set on top of a ten ton battery, only Skype have done it is the reverse order. They bought out a nice neat package, yes with a few problem which are slowly getting ironed out and replaced that with the good old hand set and ten ton of battery.

I am sure there will be people who will like it, I for one Don't and will stick with 3.8 unless I am forced to 4.0 and if it has not gone back to the 3.8 style it's bye bye Skype for me. You only have to look here to see what people think about it.

I think it is now gone far enough and therefore it is time for Skype users to take a stand and say enough is enough, why are you not listening to what we want. We are again going the way that happened with HQ video with Skype telling US what we want not the other way round, but may be that is the way the Russians work like the old Stalin days you will have what we tell you to have.
