If my parents can switch over from skype then anyone can, and Skype is in trouble. -we literally just finished skyping with my parents so they could see their granddaughter. Inevitably the first 5 minutes are them figuring out why their camera isn't working or why it's on mute. -not skypes fault...trust me. That said, I'd be interested in whether there is better fidelity or less latency. This always seems a problem on Skype no matter how good the connection.

Also, I can't give G+ "hangouts" enough props. Works really well.
