Skype for Mac Released!

skype-logo As I said earlier, more and more software developers are now targeting Mac users to increase their area for operation. If you remember, recently Utorrent was launched for Mac users followed by Picasa and now its time for Skype. For those who don’t know what Skype is, it is said to be the best VOIP tool used for making calls via Internet.

Well, I personally know people who prefer using Windows OS (specially XP) because it has got a huge collection of softwares and applications, to such peoples I would now say that its time for you to reconsider choosing Windows OS over Mac or Linux. 🙂
