		pbhjpbhj on May 16, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Bye Bye Skype, Top 3 Free Replacements I don't see a rebuttal of the claim that they will no longer update the linux client (which beta is about 4 years old IIRC), or probably just drop it. If one was really naive I guess one might imagine that "invest in and support Skype clients on non-Microsoft platforms" might cover linux rather than a limited set of possible platforms. I have no worries about the java based client on my phone for example.

they do say "Microsoft will continue to invest in and support Skype clients on non-Microsoft platforms."

Arguable if they will or not, but I don't think they could have been more direct than this
