Spin. You got caught out by maxxuss.com fair and square. The only reason you can't do 10-way on an AMD chip is because you've signed some deal.

I won't be using skype again.

AMD forever!

(let's see you post this skype or won't intel let you)

I must say this Intel-only protected feature is really a strange move for a company such as yours. Its stupid because it locks users (and thus revenue) out, people will get irritated about it. This the reason we decided not to go with skype for the Office, not because it affects us - we are mostly on intel - but because of principles.

I'd guess there is someone in the market/partners department that came up with the idea, and thats one thing. But that it actually got approved, thats frightening.

I see you say: We digitally sign our software (on Windows, this is done with Authenticode signatures)

but your upgrade posted now, is not digitally signed so I do not want to upgrade using it. Was the 2.5 inadvertently not signed?

thanks

Although I own an Intel CPU, I, too, frown upon this kind of behaviour. I sure hope that it will not happen again.

You cannot forget the fact that Internet is a huge community of users. Should an application make fun of some of its users owing a certain equipment, they will all change to something else. You may be the largest company with VoIP service but this is not something solid.

What a bunch of windbags. Free voip free video conferencing woohoo thanks skype. Need more functionality then buy it you cheap skates.
