This is totally nit-picky, but strange use of the word "backdoor." When I read "backdoor" I was expecting to read about some malware-like functionality within the Skype client itself, but instead this is just telling us that Microsoft can read content after it is sent to them via the client and decrypted.

I would prefer Microsoft stopped scanning/reading my conversations, and I agree that what they're doing (e.g. accessing URLs) is a problem (and arguably illegal, given the recent case about someone accessing insecured AT&T URLs and going to jail).

Just think the original title could have been more clear.
