[QUOTE=MegaJohnny;36342676]Again, Steam does precisely this. It'll stay in the system tray when all the Steam windows are closed.

I thought people were used to this by now? It's not like "closing" to the system tray is even an uncommon thing nowadays.[/QUOTE]

I've only ever minimized Steam so I wasn't aware. Whenever I click the button labeled "Close" I expect it to close not minimize.

It's a peer to peer application. You could potentially be sharing ads while running skype.

Wouldn't it be kinda easy from a technical standpoint to code a custom p2p VOIP client? A central php server would store profiles/accounts, the latest binaries, and temporary (And private) IP info to send to clients so they can connect to eachother. Agree/Disagree?

[QUOTE=pawelte1;36322553]When Google bought YouTube, suddenly all those pesky ads appeared. I guess this was inevitable.[/QUOTE]

They're not comparable at all. That was less Google and more the fact that YouTube so popular. Do you realize how much it costs to keep a site like YouTube up?

Fuck you microsoft.

Next thing you know, Windows 8 will have ads on the desktop for you to think about while you work :\

You can always find a good mumble (teamspeak/ventrillo) server which allows you to create your own passworded channels
