Well, this is not a Linux-exclusive issue: I have Skype running on different Linux-PC's, and it always synchronized the buddy list (contacts) between the instances.
Now I've installed 2.0 on a company laptop running XP. What shall I say, of course no buddy list appeared....is this a bug or is there some special online feature available, or just an incompatibility between the win and the lin-versions?
Cheers....
