Skype... still works. - jonny - 03-02-2017

"From 1 March, people will no longer be able to log in to version 7.16 (and older builds) of Skype for Windows desktop, or version 7.18 (and older) of Skype for Mac."
My 6.15 is still working fine. Guess they pushed back the kill date.

Well, kinda.
In my experience, it's become progressively ever more buggy and laggy ever since MS got it in its clutches.

Well, they killed it when Monopoly$oft said they would on the last version that would work on my G5.

I see lots of people complain about it, but have quite the opposite experience myself.
We use Skype for Business at work and I like it MORE than anything except GoToMeeting, which is way more expensive. I handoff conversations from my Windows laptop, to my iPhone, to my MacBook Air and while it's not seamless (sometimes an incoming call comes to only one of those devices when I want to answer it on another, but I just call back). I talk to my colleagues in Germany, UK, Australia and all over the US and the call clarity is as good as FaceTime audio

Skype has degraded dramatically in the past six months. I no longer try to use it. Far too many dropped calls.

That's my experience too.
