Guys,

Finally managed to get onto the Skypes website, they've made an
announcement:



UPDATED 14:02 GMT: Some of you may be having problems logging into Skype.
Our engineering team has determined that it=B9s a software issue. We expect
this to be resolved within 12 to 24 hours. Meanwhile, you can simply leave
your Skype client running and as soon as the issue is resolved, you will be
logged in. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Additionally, downloads of Skype have been temporarily disabled. We will
make downloads available again as quickly as possible.



I like the way that they say simply, when millions use it for their everyda=
y
business. But in Skypes defence they don't offer a business SLA that I know
of. Just goes to show how important Business Continuity Planning is.
