For me this is complexity problem.

Skype develops using some kind of open source with continuous updates.
The problem with this style of programming is that the interactions between the parts of the software are of order the square of the number of parts, so in some moment the system explode and actually crashes, as a system, although as we see the components by itself do not crash.

The problem can be seen in a more general way: we are using methods of witting software 15 years old and 20 years old certification techniques. This is valid not only for Skype. The technology is outdated. So we get what we pay – the errors are assumed and supposed in the method. There is no money to develop new methods, because it is cheaper to export the production or to make it “free” open source.

Well, in fact it is relatively easy to avoid such a situation. Just make it loosy.

Good luck to the Skype software teem! Rewind quickly!
