No Linux or Mac drivers for Skype phones? What are they thinking?

| As a committed Ubuntu Linux newbie, I've been feeling pretty pleased with my

| telecommunications snag and, judging by the free flow of angst pervading all
| of the Linux forums I've visited, I'm not alone in my disgust.

Rethinking the driver
,----[ Quote ]
| If these guys can do it, why can't Apple or Microsoft take it to the next
| level? Heck why stop at drivers, why not have a list of Applications that I
| can download right from the OS? Linux does a pretty good job of the
| applications downloads as well. It's features like this which, while
| requiring quite a bit of polish, make the Linux platform more and more
| appealing. Don't get me wrong, Linux still has device driver issues, but they
| are actually innovating in this area as opposed to just sitting back and
| doing what everyone else does.
