I've tried the new version 2.8.0.722, but my experience wasn't too good.
The new interface is more like the windows version, crunched with things. Some people like it, I rather the clean style (like in Mac-Gnome).
But what made me return to the previous version I had installed was the quality. Sound and video were quite terrible. I tried deleting preferences and fix permissions but it didn't do any good.
For me (Macbook pro1,1, OS 10.5.8 at test-time and 10.6.1 now) Skype version 2.7.0.330 is the one that works the best so far.

Installed perfectly and works perfectly
Just had to reset some of the preferences to my settings.
No idea why the previous users have so much trouble
Agreed, maybe you need a Directory repair and Cache cleaner

Anybody other than me DESPISE how this stupid app keeps adding itself to the login items list, so runs EVERY time you logon? I've removed it from the list, but every time I run the application it faithfully re-adds itself. BAD BAD BAD developers, I see this as equivalent to malware. I'm removing Skype from my computers because of this.
MANY THANKS!!! - Version: 2.8.0.659, 7/20/2009 08:53AM PST

After a long time of suffering the low voice quality, the nonstop echos, the frequently freezing video (on both Mac and PC, but more on Mac). Some time ago I tested Google's chat (via gmail). Its a real small piece of installation (not the 40MB "skype"-like small), it works google-fluently, you use it through your browser, yet two Mac users can use iChat via this service (its easy), the voice quality is great (even when the two computers are in the same room there is NO ECHO), the video works every-time, you hardly notice the resources it uses, it is a part of your gmail-google account, and it works on Mac and PC alike. Having said that, I need not say what is my choice ...

I certainly don't recommend this version for 10.6.2
