Yeah. And also blame them for not brokering World of Warcraft and Crysis. Seriously, if Skype does not feel compelled to release an update even for the basic fixes without brokering or somebody else footing the bill, then it tells a lot about the company and it's "relation" with the platform.

Personally, I don't think all that much will change with this 'opening'. They are basically saying 'here, we can't be bothered to make a usable UI for our application, so how about you do it for us for free'. It looks like they just want to get rid of support complexity. It has nothing to do with freedom as the key aspects of the system are likely to remain closed.
