When is a new version of Skype coming out?

[elvijs]

I'm so jealous of Vista users because of Skype 4, it just looks and feels so much better than the Skype for Ubuntu :(

I using Skype for Linux long time and if you learn how to set it up, then there will not any problem. I also using Skype Phone not a Microfone and quantity is very good.
Yes Skype 4.0 for Win XP and for Vista is very good, but there are staff what I don't like. I like Skype 3.8 much better.
So, you have choise go to Windows and have better Skype or stick with Linux and wait, because next Skype for Linux will be with SMS Support.I use Linux a while and mostly I put everything work and resolve all problems. So take your pic.

Personally, I don't like the new Windows Skype.

Anyway, if you want to send SMS through Skype on Linux, there is a way.
