Google Taking On Skype: Video Chat in Chrome

Whatever. Prefer a separate application for my chat/VoIP, and Skype really delivered so far (excluding the fact that Skype 3.8 conflicts with Windows 7 and new Skype 5.x is much more consumptive). Nice to see some initiative from Google, but no.
 
Go Google! If I can get my wife to use this once it becomes available, I might get my cell phone back! lol
 
Technology is one thing, adoption is another, people are still going to need an account of some sort to communicate and that becomes the barrier.
