All Facebook has done is bolt Skype's desktop client onto their old Facebook webpage. You actually are forced to download and install the Skype software the first time you try to video chat with someone on Facebook.
You might as well just use the existing Skype desktop client instead of this hack.
This desperate response from Facebook is not in the same league as Google+:
Facebook with Skype bolted on:
* Only 1 on 1 * Clunky first time external software instillation
Google+:
* Up to ten person group chat * Works on any platform * Seamless operation - it just works. No clunky external software instillation * Group video/youtube watching sessions

The fact that the entire mobile developer world is now doing Android IS the reason Microsoft has been reduced to this humiliating desperation.
