Skype was recently acquired by MS and it's already started to get more bloated.
Soon it will be like MS Live Messenger (MSN) with tons of commercial and popups. Skype works well talking to 2 maybe 3 ppl, but vent and ts works great talking to 100 people the same time.
 
Once i Install Starcraft 2 from cd - do i still need the cd everytime i play?

I've been on a Vent server with over 1000 people on it and a TS server with over 1500 in one room alone and they both handled it well.

You're correct with Skype being 'ok' for 2 people or so.

The difference is that the applications were made for very different things, Vent and TS were designed with gaming in mind, Skype wasn't and won't ever be.

It's like saying FaceTime is better for comms than Vent/TS lol.
 
Ok i bought SC2 now i have a silly question...after i buy the game install it and put the key into my battle.net account and download the SC2 client, if i just return the game wont it still be downloaded to play on my comp?

I haven't seen a shop that accepts PC game returns for years, especially once they've been opened.
 
Can someone please explain to me what vent and TS is? And where to get them
