      Google has a bigger graveyard, but it’s mostly their stuff.

      Microsoft and EA’s graveyards are full of those they acquired.

  Sure, but Skype was shit even before that. It had great potential though, could have become another whatsapp.

    I use both daily.

    It’s sad that Skype is more reliable and usable.
