    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 iMac 2009 24" 2.66 Snow Leopard 10.6.1
