I wasn't, nor was anyone else, referencing how financially viable they have been. HOW, in any way, has that made it easier, more seamless, for Microsoft and the user? It doesn't.

You decided to describe that Skype has made tremendous gains in use and clients. I stated that I thought Microsoft "might" have been better off not purchasing Skype in order to make a more seamless messaging process, and not having to restructure the entire product, both back house and front. Viber was built from the ground up to be what it is Skype is changing jobs midstream. It is easy to type "why such a big company like microsoft can't put in skype all the best of whatsapp, line, viber, messenger" but it is another to actually make that happen. Microsoft is both completely changing how Skype works in the background, while redoing all of its apps too, all without bringing the system down to its knees.įact is, it is complicated. Three, when Microsoft bought Skype, all the apps across platforms were coded uniquely and differently, making backend updates staggered for commercial releases of the software. Skype was not meant for mobile, and there are a lot of things that need to be done to get it there. The landscape changed, and mobile is now the big thing. That is how the backend node system was built. Two, it is well known that the old Skype was built to be a pure VOIP system for desktop computers. This puts you at a disadvantage because you just do not understand how it all works. For one, you're not an engineer who works on Skype's backend VOIP system, so you're speaking as a consumer, not someone who actually has to solve real world problems with the system.
