Posted by timothy on from the we-control-the-horizontal dept.

mijkal writes "Nevermind a huge outcry over the iTunes-like behemoth of Skype v5 for Mac. Users with v2.8 are being pushed an update to v5 regardless of update preferences. I even restored v2.8 from TimeMachine only to have it update itself again within minutes, offering only an option to relaunch the app."

    The mac version does not have the compact view option for some lame reason. You also can't turn off display of profile pictures in the contact list.
