Skype shows 0 resources being used for me.
I remember when Msoft purchased Skype for 8.5 billion last May 2011, figured they would change over eventually. I received the email with the link for the upgrade this morning.

I was personally using it but, even though, I was connected, I was rarely chatting. But, the main reason why I used Messenger (2009) was because how useful it was regarding e-mail notifications. If I had a new e-mail coming in, a popup would appear and if I clicked it, it would open a new tab immediately in Firefox. If I missed that notification, there was the button in upper right corner showing a (1) so I would click on it and get to my new e-mail. That's the only thing I would miss it for. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
