When it comes to making free calls across the internet using Voice over IP
technology, Skype is certainly leading the pack. With almost 26 million people
having downloaded the software, Skype is the most used free internet
application.
Developed by the people behind the file-sharing service Kazaa, Skype offers
free internet telephony with another PC user as long as both have the Skype
software.
This is the final release of Skype 3 and there are some cool new features. If
you're an existing Skype user, the first thing you'll notice is that the
interface has had a makeover. Another key addition is the use of public chats,
so you can now start a conversation between a group of people, whether you know
those people or they're random users who happen to join your topic of
conversation.
There are all sorts of other new features and improvements within Skype 3 and
too many to list here. To read about the new features, head over to the
Skype website.
Note that this is the official final release of Skype 3 for Windows users.
