I think the important question is:
How long will Skype be free?
If it really is Jan 17, then why bother installing it and stuff.

Ok guys, thanks for the feedback.
Now let's go with the second question : does Skype will cause any security issues for my pc?
sections 2.5 and 2.6 in the above article discuss the security measures. the encryption sounds like you have good security, i don't like the idea of not being able to refuse to allow your client to become a super-node though.

How do you know your Pc number though? Or the other guys Pc number?
I just hook up headphones, mic, open up skype and dial a real phone number and it works.

Way back at the dawn of time, I used AOL IM. Over time I tried Yahoo and MSN. Then I used Trillian to manage all of my various accounts.
When Skype came along, I pitched all of the others.
I've used it for VOIP conversations with my relatives in China, often with great results. And I only use the free version.
For text messaging, I concur that it's fantastic.
