This will help us out incredibly. As a volunteer organisation helping promote education in Isaan, Thailand this will reduce the potential for costs considerably. We try to use Linux as best we can as we cannot afford to buy expensive operating systems and our computers are getting on a bit and aren't anywhere near as good as modern systems. Our Gap year students, volunteers and founders mostly use Apple + Microsoft to communicate but with Skype being added to Linux we can all keep in touch whilst keeping the costs down. I'm glad Skype have decided to take the road of "multicultural" Open Source developers as the community will drive the project home to a stable finish and ensure that everything is transparent within it. We were thinking of going down the Google Voice route but this has definitely made us change our minds.
