I doubt they'll drop Mac/Linux/Android support on day 1, the updates will just never happen. Not that we got any regular updates with Skype for Linux anyway.

So, what alternatives are you guys planning on?

Row, row, fight the power! :3

Good idea, but it's Windows-only, which of course still has the M$ problem.

Skype is peer-to-peer. If Microsoft did release an update that reduced skypelag, it'd only get better if most of the clients/supernodes updated to it. A large number of people combined in Mac/Linux/Android/iOS will likely not get such an update.
