IMO Skype was pretty bad before MS but only in that the messages wouldn&#x27;t always synchronize or get delivered between computers so conversations were very difficult but if the client was at least okay.<p>When MS bought it everything went to shit. Still had the problems with messaging&#x2F;sync but if you had a surface pro it&#x27;d be impossible to send files or share contacts on the preinstalled metro app which IMO is a pretty fucking basic feature. Worse yet it prevented you from being able to install the regular desktop client and the Android version couldn&#x27;t start group calls so I had to  use two fucking computers just to use it like before.<p>And the stupid notifications will pull you out of a game too because for some reason they&#x27;re still clickable when you&#x27;re full screen.
