It is indeed good news for Skype users that they fixed one of their biggest bugs, the "massive Page Faults". Unfortunately, they failed to fix another one, which is probably even worse for most users - the video is extremely unreliable.
Starting with Skype version 3.5, they suddenly had problems with incoming and/or outgoing video freezing, missing, not starting automatically, and more. Users have been complaining about these problems in the Skype User Forums for nearly six months now, and have been getting the usual "run-around" - update your camera drivers, video drivers, sound drivers, DirectX, and on and on and on. It's actually pretty impressive how many other things Skype can think of to blame their problems on. Now that the video problems are still present in this newest release, one of the Skype Staff technical people has finally posted in the User Forums: "We are still working on this". Oh joy! That is probably not much comfort to the users who can't use Skype video. Many users have gone back to older Skype versions, to get one that works. But now, with the news of the serious security flaw that Skype just fixed in this newest release, they are left facing a dilemma - install an old version and open a huge security hole, or stay with the new version and suffer the video problems? I think the third choice is looking better and better all the time - both SightSpeed and ooVoo work very nicely, and give their users vastly less problems that Skype - and as a bonus, they both actually have Customer/Technical support that answers promptly (where "promptly" is defined as less than FOUR DAYS).
As they do on an occasional basis, Skype 
has just issued a decimal-on-decimal-laden rev rev with some changes and bugfixes. But this is more important a rev than many.
The rev is Skype 3.6.0.244 for Windows, and makes the following right:
change: Internet Explorer plug-in updated to version 2.2.0.147. Jim Courtney of Skype Journal thinks this is important because, as he writes, “Currently the Skype browser plug-ins can only be installed during an installation of Skype. If you reject the option to install the appropriate plug-in, based on your default browser, during installation, there is no means to install it later. Many have noted and commented on the absence of these plug-ins that were previously independently available.”
change: Audio device checking before placing a call and changing to windows default if previous device is non existent. Matters a lot to Jim as well. “Placing access to audio devices in the active call tab has been a great help on many occasions when an incorrect device was being used,” he comments. “I would hope this addition will reduce the frequency of having to manually change audio devices.”
change: Re-enabled config.xml keys for higher resolution and frame rate video. Jim: “This is the implementation of the previously announced restoration of a capability (for hackers only) to allow users to use the 640 x 480 resolution inherently available in more recent legacy webcams. However, there is no guarantee of frame rates or automatic adjustment to end user Internet connections; it is simply allows users to try out the 640 x 480 mode of the webcam. In other words it is not suitable for meeting High Quality Video standards which combines webcam resolution with video transmission capabilities to provide full 640 x 480 at 24 to 30 frames per second over a minimum 384 kbps upload Internet connections.”
Now to the bugfixes, which should be self-evident:
bugfix: Skype generated high amount of page faults
bugfix: Skype crashed when unknown PSTN number was added to conference call
bugfix: Skype crashed on occasionally when computer was locked
bugfix: Skype crashed infrequently on shutdown
bugfix: Contact search window was incorrectly drawn when there were zero results
Localizations updated, too!
