Updated Skype to Windows Desktop version 6.16.0.105 and what a slow-poke this is.... it takes for ever to load and close. What have they done to Skype??? The previous version 6.14.104 was doing just fine, fast loading and closing and not even a hiccup what so ever. They really messed up this time. They should have left it alone. This new so called
Desktop Version is probably written to enhance it's operation with Windows 8 OS even though it's for windows 7 also. They forgot the Wins 7 crowd which are so many more than Wins 8 and just refined Skype for Wins 8 OS. If I could get back the old Version 6.14.104 I would get rid of this Desktop Version. Don't like it at all. It's just to SLOW...

HEY SKYPE WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ????
Pros
It's really a great tool it's just that this new version is very slow...... If it weren't for the loading issue i would have give Skype 4 or 5 star rating. It has been Wins "default" P2P software for a long time and enjoyed by many.
Cons
Very slow loading and closing.... Why would anyone change something that performs so well??? If it's not broken then why fix it??? Just leave it like it is.... that's what i got to say...
