No, you’re not imagining Skype’s login problems this morning. I too, awoke this morning, only to find that my beloved blue S ball refused to login, rendering me sad and confused as to why my VoIP love had abandoned me.
But the crew from Estonia explains:
UPDATED 14:02 GMT: Some of you may be having problems logging into Skype. Our engineering team has determined that it’s a software issue. We expect this to be resolved within 12 to 24 hours. Meanwhile, you can simply leave your Skype client running and as soon as the issue is resolved, you will be logged in. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Additionally, downloads of Skype have been temporarily disabled. We will make downloads available again as quickly as possible.

I guess the problem is fixed, because I'm now logged back in. That was around 11PM EST
