Beta Version: Skype for Windows 2.5.0.82
Skype is the next phenomenon from the people who brought you KaZaA. Just like KaZaA, this uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you to other users – not to share files this time, but to talk for free with your friends. The technology is extremely advanced - but super simple to use. You’ll be making perfect quality free phone calls to your friends in no time.

I’ve heard about it for months, but only now I’m downloading the latest version of it from skype, after reading the post.
Thanks for giving me the trigger…
