Sigh.  As was said, people don't care whose fault it is.  This just adds
to Ubuntu bug number one.  Linux (and Ubuntu) need Skype far more than
Skype needs Ubuntu.

"Use Ubuntu".
"Sure, can it run it my applications?"
"Of course."
"What about Skype, I need it for work and personal use?"
"Oh, well, you see the Skype developers make it proprietary and..."
"Wait a minute.  I really don't care.  Does Skype work or not?"
"Well, um, you see, you can install it, but..."
"Later.  Sorry, I know you're into computers and free software and all that stuff, but some of us need our computers for work."

Nicely done.   If Ubuntu is a distribution aimed at hobbyists, it's
fine.  If it's supposed to be a viable alternative to MS and Apple, then
this was an extremely poor decision.
