I agree. Perhaps put the time into making new cool
features so that Skype folks can look at some SIP
client and say 'wow - I want that too, let's
switch from Skype' ;)
The world would be a better place without Skype,
without proprietary standards..
Let me disagree with that. The advantage of skype is that it's making millions of people worldwide familiar with VoIP technology and showing them that it can work.

IMHO you can use Skype to your advantage when selling Asterisk based VoIP systems. "It works like skype, except it's just like your good old telephone!"

Now it's true that it /would/ be better if Skype was open, but it isn't. Still, I believe the world /is/ a better place with Skype. Without it, VoIP awareness would be much lower and the technology would struggle even more to emerge.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
