It's hard for me to think of anything Microsoft has done outside of developer tools that looks and feels somewhat consistent in terms of their UI in the past 5 years. Those are bugs that should be easy to address, but Microsoft has also struggled to get the UI right with Skype. I can't even scroll up and down on the contacts section of the Skype app with my trackpad, it just doesn't work. This isn't a single device with driver issues, it's consistent across machines. I regularly have to restart the app just to make a call, or have my microphone detected correctly. Microsoft had promised to fix notifications blasting out to both your desktop machine and mobile, but I still frequently receive them in real-time on multiple devices. Warren adds: Recently, friends and family have started experiencing some of the many issues I experience, including calls simply not connecting properly and every device in a home ringing non-stop even when a call is activated.
"I'm not sure what Microsoft has done to Skype, but it sucks now," he writes. These issues include infrequent restarts, too many update prompts, and just having to deal with the unimpressive user interface that Skype throws at everyone's face. Microsoft reporter and critic Tom Warren lists a number of issues he continues to face on Skype. But the VoIP and instant messaging service isn't exactly working well on other platforms either. It's no secret that Microsoft has long stopped caring about Skype for Linux.
