Skype 2.5 Beta is even more sneaky at dodging firewalls and UTM devices. Whilst I use Skype on a personal basis, companies should watch out for compliance issues. It is impossible to monitor what employees are sending out/receiving in form of messages. In addition they could be using the file transfer facility and introducing the risk of unscanned virus's/worms/trojans.

Skype's new SMS texting facility is a real bonus though.
