sparky,

Is it so difficult to image that Skype, looking at the target users of this app (businesses), and the market share of Intel in the business desktop/mobile space (90% + last numbers I saw), couldn't be bothered with ponying up the significant cost of validating and supporting a complex, multi-threaded application on a second platform? Validation costs are a significant portion of software development these days.

Thanks for your brave attempt to excuse an inexcusable. As far as I know, Skype is the only company (outside of Intel) that cripples their product based on the test for "GenuineIntel". Trying to portray this as a general trend is disingenuous (or ignorant) on your part.

Joe
