Skype is not the first VOIP product, nor the best. Then why did it create a mini-revolution in the telecom space? It seems to have revived VOIP, but I don’t understand how Skype differs from the other players.
Answer by Eagle_Kiwi
I think perhaps the right place at the right time, a product aimed purely at that one market, and very good marketing.
But I believe their golden run is nearly over – with Yahoo now very aggressively pursuing the same market.
Skype is “known” by VOIP enthusiasts, many of whom have become that way due to Skype.
But Yahoo is known by virtually everyone on the whole internet, and ALL those people are now becoming exposed to real possibilities of VOIP direct through “their” Yahoo.

Whenever I talk to my friends on skype, or on WoW, I like watching videos on youtube at the same time. unfortunately, windows seems to have a function where it automatically mutes any other sounds when a VoIP application is running.
I already tried Control Panel > Sound > Communications > Do nothing but it is of no avail.
The problem is, if I am already watching a video before I open Skype, nothing is muted, but if i try to watch a video after skype is opened, or after i’m in a call, the video is muted.
A similar thing happens when I try to listen to music on iTunes when i’m in a call. the player outrights refuses to play music during a call, but if i am already listening to music, nothing is changed to the volume level.
I’m using windows 7 by the way. Is there any way to disable this muting of all other programs except skype when i’m in a call or using other VoIP software?
