How many of you are using the newest version of skype 5.0 and is it working well or do you like the previous versions better?

    I haven't tried version 5 yet. When I clicked to check for updates there was nothing to do it seemed.

      Not sure this helps dvduval but I just went to the help tab and saw the check for updates and it said I was due a "Major Upgrade"

      I'm sure you've probably done this, thought I'd say just in case you hadn't. It was the first time I'd actually bothered.

    I haven't upgraded yet from v 4.2, but from what I understand the major upgrades have to do with multiple user videoconferencing, which is something I really don't have a need for.

      I am not a big skype user yet and I have few contacts on my list, so the new version does pretty much the same as the old one for me.
      The big change that I see is that the screen area is occupied by a very generous size of the logo/pictures of the contacts .
      I assume that if you are using the camera you must be able to see all your contacts [used to be up to9] side by side during the conversation.

    5.0 seems as good as the previous version. I have not tried out most new features yet, but the functionality I use is great.

    Upgraded to Skype 5 recently after an enthusiastic testimonial from a friend. Haven't had a chance to use it much but it was a bit frustrating getting used to the new user interface.
