Hmmm, they release this info the day after the announcement that Microsoft is buying Skype.

This has nothing to do with Microsoft.

Skype for Mac has always been terrible. Can't do conferencing, doesn't have many of the other features either, it doesn't have the userbase so they don't update it.

Between Skype’s security vulnerability and the Microsoft buyout, Apple has more incentive than ever to promote FaceTime. I don’t think they’re much interested in creating apps for Windows, Windows Phone or Android, but FaceTime uses open standards, and they could certainly nudge along some third-party developers to widen its appeal.
