For all those Skype for Mac OS users who are as eager as I am to begin using the Skype version with video conferencing capability, please be “Warned” that the latest development version floating around the Internet should NOT be used.
This development version as stated by one of the Skype developer, Jaanus, will destroy your Skype data.
The one good news is that the new Mac version (v2.0) is almost ready for prime time.
