I have been following this thread but not thoroughly at times, so pardon me if I missed anything.
I understand that the regular Mac Skype goes to the Home page on startup, and that Skype Premium doesn't or can be made not to, not sure which. So far though, I am not convinced that the idea was to make people pay for the privilege of having Skype start on a different control. I think it's an accident, or a side effect of something else about Skype Premium. My point is that I don't think Microsoft is specifically trying to charge you money for that particular convenience. I thought I saw others in this thread who managed to get a current Skype, not Premium, to land on the Contact list on startup. If so, may one or two of them please speak up and verify this, and if possible, start working out how that might have come to work for some people and not for others. Again, apologies if I misread, or completely failed to read, anything in this discussion.

It was on Skype home instead. If the free versions of skype started in the contact list by default like it did when I first got my mac, then I, for 1, probably wouldn't be complaining too much. Now that I've paid for it, however, the behavior that should have already been standard does occur, but I still maintain that being forced to pay for this basic functionality is almost criminal. When skype started on that skype home thing, it was very frustrating, especially for those of us who are either still new to the mac, or simply don't want to deal with a bunch of pointless navigation. I hope this clarifies things for you a little.
