Ten million is still a huge number. But I get your point, up against 50-200 million, it really doesn't account for squat.
Indeed. 10 million is nothing to scoff at and I apologize if I sounded like I was. They're still getting good business, but in terms of numbers, they are in no way a heavy hitter.

And that's active accounts, not accounts that don't get used for months or years at a time.
Skype actually has more accounts than AIM does, but 90% of them are inactive. In terms of active accounts, Skype is a low key player in the business of instant messaging software.
