That and lack of third party support that didn't have to coerced via payment to even support Maemo (think Skype for instance that fell outside of Collabora supported protocols) were against the N900.
in the launch days of the N900, Skype was not that much against the N900 to deny it videocalls like later on the N9.

Skype 2012 (MS-Skype) would be against the N900, for sure.
