[OpenIndiana-discuss] skype on OI

[Predrag Zecevic [Unix Systems Administrator]]

Hi,

i don't think that Microsoft will ever release Skype for OI (or solaris)...

[back in 2010, there was Skype forum thread regarding Solaris, but it is 
gone now]

Regards.

P.S. I, myself, am running CentOS 6 as VBox guest (not only for skype, 
but mysql-workbench /also Oracle maintained, but no release for Solaris 
like OSes/, TeamViewer, etc).
