I guess it'll mean that he turns all his energy into Joost and it'll be a huge success, since everything that man touches turns to gold (Kazaa, Skype).
Excuse me: "Gold"? I have to disagree. 1) Kazzaa is defunct 2) Skype is terminal 3) and Joost will never survive gestation unless Nik can figure out how to stream HD
Kazaa: 270 million downloads, sold for an undisclosed fee. Skype: Over 200 million registered users, sold for $2.6 billion. I would say that's a pretty shiny career so far.
It's not Niklas who is the genious it's the dane Janus Friis. He is the prodigy. The swede is just selling the shit and that's all he do. If it wasn't for Janus Friis, Niklas would be a bum today.

Dude! P2P-networking and voice interaction is NOT really the latest thing out there, it has been done by numerous companies before Skype and Kazaa. But they haven't succeeded (oh, some has of course, i.e. Napster). So what is it that Skype and Kazaa has (had)? -Marketing and sales stategies.
And I don't reckon he'd be a "standard bum", he does have an engineering degree.
But I'm sure Janus is a great guy too, helping bums and all.

200 million registrations since beta launch
60,00,000 active 'registered users'...
6,000,000 logged on at any given time...
So what does that mean? At any given time 3% of my friends are on Skype? Yay, let me go find my USB handset.
