the really really really big thing that killed Skype
Was that it got broken by MS:
Netbooks suddenly going to near 100% CPU, that had worked when eBay owned it.
Migration of login to MS Passport
Removal of features.
Dumbing down of text chat.
Death of Linux Version.
Some people even moved to QQ.
It was dying long before Whatsapp was popular.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
