Hi, i'm testing the beta and runs fine so i suggest an upgrade into the Skypecasts, basically in the cast's tab, that's the situation; sometimes i minimize the skype's window and never see or hear the new user into my own skypecast so i want to hear a sound when a new user arrives. I hope could be do something about it

And it still requires admin priviliges on Vista. What's up with you Skype. By the time 3.0 is released, Vista will be broadly available (and that's just in 67 days, you know). So come one and get this fixed!

What happened to the very useful cost/minute display when making a call?

Hi, i'm just trying it in these days... seems to work fine for my needs, no bugs spotted until now. Great issue the possibility to conference with 9 (NINE!) more people.
