Basically Skype's website wrapped in a web browser.
Expect it to be a resource hog. Eats half a gig of RAM for breakfast.

Sound and video are working just fine on Linux, this latest version as well as previous versions.
No troubles.

Doesn't let use my KDE/Qt theme, otherwise a decent piece of software.

There is something wrong with the deb install file because it won't install...
P.S.
It seems that you have to uninstall the old version before installing this one...

Ugh, it sucks more bandwitdh than any of the SIP based Voip providers - probably because it operates on a p2p model.
Grab yourself one of the SIP based phones and ditch the proprietary Skype already.

The new beta (v2.0.0.13) has finally added video support. I've tried it and it works a treat! :-D

Sadly, Skype progrobly only has one programmer working on the Linuxversion (in his lunch break!), but I'm very glad to see an update.
Still working okay here! Indispensible to me for keeping contact with distant family members.

I recently migrate to linux...I will also soon leave Skype. You should not forget Linux Users...because they 'll forgot you too (bye my SkypeIn Number!)... Skype is CrossPlatform...not it's functionnality ! it's sad !
This Linux experience of skype totally change my feeling about Skype !

That is stupid! It's a VoIP not yahoo. Get a grip and grow up. When Skype added those features to the Windows client it started going down hill and the quality dropped.
