FaceTime vs. Skype.

I don't like FaceTime.  I love apple and what it puts out, but I really don't like FaceTime.  I only use it because my friends don't use Skype.  Even if Skype is a product of Microsoft, I still prefer it to FaceTime.  The interface for Skype (at least on Macs), is very good and is better than FaceTimes interface.  The other problem I have with FaceTime is it isn't cross-platform.  I can only use FaceTime with other people on Apple devices, and those of which i use it with use it on iPod touches or iPads.  That means for me, I get bad quality video from there end of the "call".  Skype is completely different.  It is cross-platform and has a better "feel" to it.  I especially don't like ooVoo, though.  I never got into that fad and didn't like how people posted screenshots to their Facebook account.  FaceTime and ooVoo are just lesser versions of Skype.
