Publisher's description of Skype
From Skype:Skype is software that enables you to make free calls anywhere in the world. Skype uses innovative P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you with other users. This special beta version of Skype shows off some of the new features planned for the next official release. Skype 4.0 beta 2 refines the interface and adds message alerts, adds filters to sort contacts by categories such as online status, and offers a choice between the new all-in-one interface or the classic two conversation and contact windows.
Note: Beta or prerelease software is not intended for inexperienced users, as the software may contain bugs or potentially damage your system. We strongly recommend that users exercise caution and save all mission-critical data before installing and/or using this software.

Version: Skype 4.0 beta 2
"Dishonest company that steals your credit"
Pros: Service can be decent when it works
Cons: They arbitrarily blocked my account. Sent 5 messages to costumer service and no answer. Their forums have plenty of cases like this. Google " skype blocked account". They have no costumer services and arbitrarily blocks services that are paid for.
Summary: Run away.

Cons: Still drops the call occasionally
-
Version: Skype 4.0 beta 2
Pros: Easy to handle as soon you get familiar with the application.
Now even all in one!Cons: Haven't found any disadvantages so far.
Summary: The speaker adjustment is now visible; all details of those you're talking to as well, all in one window. You do not have to jump between chat and main application.

Version: Skype 4.0 beta 2
Pros: Apart from the larger number pad. None
Cons: Who said that you can resize? You can not find the history of calls. If you start a call and want to conference another number in, the first caller is put on hold and is lost. After just one day, I had to uni-install it and reinstall version 3.8
Summary: DO NOT USE IT: HOPING THAT THE FINAL VERSION IS MUCH; MUCH; MUCH BETTER
