I really doubt they'd do that. Far too many people using Skype for business purposes. I need to be able to talk to people who aren't my facebook friends.

The problem is, Skype is (as of my knowledge) really the only available, actively developed, cross-platform client offering both audio and video connections, let alone being free software. If you abandon Skype, you either have to abandon video-phoning with friends on other platforms or you have to change platforms yourself. As sad it is, there simply is no working free substitute for Skype right now.
