AM YOU OKAY WITH AM? AM OKAY WITH YOU!

So, I'm skirting dangerously close to the "No Politics" rule here, but...

...is anyone else utterly delighted and unsurprised that, in barely over 5 years since acquiring Skype, Microsoft has turned it from the "de facto go-to Voice over IP solution for all customers, be they businesses or individuals" to, "Why the heck are you still using Skype?!?!?"

And it's not that the technology has graduated -- my Rift group "downgraded" to TeamSpeak, and my wife's work group is performing a similar parallel shift, not to upgrade functionality, but because Skype's UI has become so arcane as to be worthless to them.

It's just that Microsoft's UI "improvements" made Skype nigh-unusable, and their recent decision to eliminate client-based apps in favor of browser-based connectivity was the nail in the coffin.

As I have on my Skype "What are you doing right now?" page, I am wondering whether there is anything in this whole wide world that Microsoft can't ruin by trying to "improve" it?

(For those who would argue that Skype is still usable, I'll trundle up all of Windows 8 and Windows 10 as "Evidence B".)

EEEYYYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP.
