Hmm!
I know I have the latest version of Skype, and mine always starts in the
contact list.

I don't honestly see the point of paying for a feature that was free in
previous versions. video conferencing I can understand, but this? I DON'T
THINK SO! It seems to me that Microsoft is trying to soak us for more money,
especially considering that their flagship product (windows 7) had such a
poor showing over the last 4 years (millions of corporate machines still
running XP).

That doesn't sound at all right or fair. How much is this skype premium.
If it's cheap, and there isn't a monthly fee, I
might consider it, but it never used to be that way, and if that's the
case, how is it possible that at least 1 person I've
talked to who is also using the free version is able to start in contacts
like it used to do? I'm not trying to complain or
be difficult; am just genuinely puzzled by this.
Thanks!

I raised this issue wiht Skype beta team a while ago and I was toldwas
that this is by design. If you wish to not have Skype
not start at Home, rather your contacts, it's required to purchase Skype
Premium.
FYI: eBay (not Google owned Skype before) and now Microsoft has it

Hi there! Thank you so much for starting this topic thread. Hopefully,
this is the appropriate place to bring up my number 1 complaint with
skype on the mac.
When I first got my mac and installed Skype; I believe this was
version 5.1 or so, the program always started in the contacts list. Ever
sinve 5.3 or so, when I run the program, it starts
me on something that Voiceover tells me is called Skype Home.
It basicly looks like a facebook clone. Granted, it's not
prohibatively difficult to navigate to a table, interract and find my
contacts list and stop interracting, but I personally feel that this
is something I shouldn't have to do, and it's just aggravating enough
that I avoid using skype as often as possible, and only run it
periodically to check for updates in hopes that this issue
will some day be fixed. I've checked preferences time and again, and
there simply isn't a way to configure how the program
starts.
To make this even more frustrating, when I ask people about id, they
claim that they don't have this problem. I'd be more than happy to
disconnect skype from facebook if it would fix the problem, but would
rather not if I don't have to. I don't really understand the point of
the favorites thing either, and miss the simplicity
of the first mac version of skype I ever used. Sorry for the aimless
rambling, but I hope it makes sense to someone.

This message is for Kevin Chow if he is working with Skype on the Mac
with Skype Team.
Hi Kevin.
I have been using Skype on the Mac for a long time and when Google had
the program, it worked beautifully with the Mac.
However since Microsoft have bought it, it has not been very good on the
Mac.
The dial pad is inaccessible. Is there any way of getting Skype for Mac
fixed?
If there are other issues, feel free any one to say if Kevin is going to
get this sorted.
Kawal.
