Has anybody tried this? Got to wonder if there is any spywear in it.

Quote:

Skype is the next phenomenon from the people who brought you KaZaA. Just like KaZaA, Skype uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you to other users – not to share files this time, but to talk and chat with your friends.

The technology is extremely advanced - but super simple to use... You’ll be making free phone calls to your friends in no time!

Free unlimited worldwide phone calls to other Skype users
Superior sound quality - better than your regular phone
Works with all firewall, NAT and routers – nothing to configure!
Friends list shows you when your Skype friends are online and ready to talk or chat
Super-simple and easy to use
Your calls are encrypted “end-to-end” for superior privacy
Based on cutting edge peer-to-peer technology developed by the creators of Kazaa and Joltid

theres already a couple of other threads about it around, but i don't think anyone had tried the program. I think everyone was waiting for someone else to be the guinea pig. I reckon there must be a catch somewhere.

Hmm...

Maybe I'm missing something but...

How is this better than programs such as TeamSpeak, BuddyPhone, PCTelephone, etc. ?

I mean, they all have good quality over broadband, are easy to use, etc. etc....

Isn't that simliar to yahoo / msn / aim messenger?

Your friend has to be online.
You talk if he is online.

You could do that with a lot of other programs

From what I've seen it is a pay system because it says in the EULA something about a FREE trial. Now when the trial is over it asks you to pay. This is no better then Yahoo IM and I can use voice chat there. Becides it is FREE and not pay. So can someone tell me is this thing supposed to be FREE because I did not install it when it talked about pay.
