Interesting doc Shawn. The title says V3 Dec 2006 - making it 2 years old! The copyright at the bottom of the cover page is 2008. And the footer has a 02/05/2008 datestamp. But when I look at their site and the downloads specifically, there is no mention of versions numbers anywhere. Not good. And to add insult to injury the site says: <snip> Free download, install, start using it. No IT consultants required. </snip> http://www.skype.com/business/ As one of those IT people, I am concerned. Not by job security, but by a company that encourages employees to violate corporate policy and download and install "rogue" software. The lack of external version numbers (there may be one in Help/About, I don't know) makes it very diffcult to track version numbers. Combined with their blatant encouragement of bad corporate behaviour makes me concerned about using this tool in a corporate environment.
