I've no insight at all into this issue beyond what's been publicly
disseminated, but it's important to note that the Skype folks
explicitly stated that there was some sort of flaw in their P2P
communications mechanisms which led to the outage, FWIW.

AFAIK, Sype didn't blame Microsoft - they blamed a code flaw on their
part and stated that the coincidence of lots of reboots associated
with the most recent Microsoft updates exposed the Skype code flaw
(again, I've no insight into this matter beyond what Skype have
publicly stated).
