Hi

There is this annoying "Skype Home" window that pops up from time to time out of nowhere!! Is there any way of disabling this window!?

Nice, huh?! But why such negativity? Come on.

If Skype is to be trusted Tony Bates is The CEO. Quote: " I’m Skype’s CEO. I’m responsible for overseeing the company’s direction and strategy and am ultimately responsible for its performance."

If you do not like the direction and strategy of Skype, that's the guy.

start you own thread.  thread hijacking is not a good practice and it is not allowed here.  your reply has nothing to do with the topic raised by the thread starter.
