I think the point of "add ons" is that you don't need the extra stuff, but you can add it on if you want to.

More incentive to use a completely closed and proprietary VOIP solution. This increases its appeal level to less than desirable!

Fine. Please recommend an open source, multiplatform VOIP solution that just works, letting people find each other and communicate securely without understanding their firewall configuration etc or having to type in the address of (or install?) a central server. If possible, something that supports video and/or text and/or whiteboard functionality.

Re: communicate securely

..communicate securely..

Are you implying that Skupe lets you to communicate securely ? Last time I checked that claim that but offer no prove. Sorry, but closed-standard security should be treated as no security at all .. or you'll be in for a big surprise.
