What is different between the Skype beta 3.0. and the Corporate Skype beta ?

Skype for bouziness

I finally figured it out. The filesize and the name is different. .  The corporate skype could be great, if only could it be sold via an authorized reseller network that can burn their own versions for real paying customers… and build a business around it. Nobody is going to (re)sell any Skype-service successfully if the prospect can direct after their 1st purchase.  It makes me also wonder how the Skype for Ebay will look in the future.

Here is how Dan York summarizes the Corporate Skype:

  • The version number is 3.0.32.123 versus the 3.0.0.106 of the regular Skype 3.0 beta.
  • Both versions have the same release date of Nov 8th. (Which someone from Skype in the Skype English Blog group chat just said is a mistake.)
  • The installation process appeared identical from an end-user experience.
  • When I now have Skype windows open, the title bar says "Corporate Skype (BETA)".

This is what I think that many corporations will currently do with Skype if this is the Corporate Skype. And seriously it better be fixed if Skype wants to get some foothold in the business market.
