No surprise @ all now that Microsoft owns them!!
SKYPE IS A PIECE OF TRASH NOW!!
You're being so, unfair to Microsoft!
They gave everyone great warning about it. In the 375 Page, almost half a millimeter high fonted, software T.O.S. agreement. Which helpfully scrolled, at almost one line, every other minute. They also helpfully removed the scroll bars, to eliminate any chance of you missing a bit of it. It only takes 19.5 hours to read and/or scroll (speed limited) down it.
Being Microsoft, it does tend to crash after the first few hours. But they make no monetary charge (for the first retry, then $10), and let you start reading it from the top again.
It is absolutely quite ridiculous for people in this thread to be complaining. To change this policy, would wildly infringe on Microsofts and Bill Gates, right to their privacy (of all data they collect this way), retain joint copyright (remember, when you agreed to this, in the agreement), and would also terribly infringe on their human rights.
They will *ONLY* use the photographs, if they can make money from them, or cause you terrible embarrassment or other major issues.
They guarantee they will absolutely 100% NEVER, under any circumstances whatsoever be sent to the NSA (unless someone in your country is accused of committing a crime, within a 100 year, time-span).
Your rights are fully 100% honored by Microsoft (up to a maximum amount, no greater than, what you are paying for this service. N.B. Free = $0).
