THE RECORD HOLDER FOR FAKE... |
|---|
You do not have to look far to see that the overwhelming majority of Skype reviews are not written by genuine users at all. Users are just not that gushy over a piece of functional software, and especially over one as poor as this. The user interface is scruffy. Worldwide trials show no better than 40% acceptable call quality. The software has weaknesses that render internet cafe users vulnerable to financial losses, since the software does not log you out on closing, and skype see fit to activate "auto-topup" for you without permission, so if you have closed without logging out, the next user may use your skype and draw your money for as long as they wish. Skype were indifferent to this when we informed them 3 years ago. We now have a group of almost 50 people who are collectively bringing skype to court through these losses. It's your choice, but the fact is, skype is all hype

As somebody who's never actually used Skype, I think your review could benefit from a bit more explanation about what exactly the service provided is, what the point of having it is (or is advertised as being) and what features it offers. You've made some good technical points but it might be worth explaining more background information for people who aren't familiar with it.
