I think the other answer nailed it, but I have had good luck with their
online support. A support rep answered me within a day, with something
more than what I used to get which was "ask on the forum" or "it will 
be fixed in the next release" (and never was).

Their answer was a generic answer which did not apply in my case, and when
I pointed that out, I had the correct answer a few hours later. 

So IMHO, their support under Microsoft is a lot better than their support
under eBay, or when they were independent.

You may want reconsider totally deleting your account. I rarely use
mine because I have international long distance included in my cellphone
plan. Yesterday they offered a year of Skype Premium which includes
videoconferencing for free.

So IMHO, it's worth keeping the account, and signing up for the free year,
in the eventuality that you may need to do a videoconference. 

I understand that this is a Mac group, and Apple has competing (and probably
better) products, but not everyone in the world is a Mac/iOS user and
occasionally we have to talk to them. :-)
