Interestingly, I was running Skype 3.1 and when I used the "Check for updates" function I was told that I'm running the latest version. Going to the website to download was the only way to get 3.2.

I can't think of a need to ever send money from within Skype... that seems excessive to me. I also don't think my Skype address is the same as my Paypal address, so wouldn't that be an issue?

I just can't see a need for sending money through an IM program, thats not what paypal is meant for. How often do you send money via paypal to your family anyway?
