I have been very happy with Skype and use it all the time. I would never install it on an iPhone.
Don't know. I used it on iPhone, and use it on Windows Phone now. Also on all my current computers and tablets, and - hopefully - on MacBook Pro soon. My wife uses it on her new iPhone. GUI design and other bells and whistles aside, call quality is much better than Viber - at least where we live.
I have no idea what you’re trying to say. Apple doesn’t whore you out to advertisers.
Sure, they make enough money by selling their actual products, unlike Google. I've heard an old saying somewhere in Europe, I think it originates from Turkey... something is lost in translation, but as it goes: If you don't pay on bridge, you'll pay on viaduct.
Microsoft, though. Their whole "Scroogled" campaign was based on their claim that their services around Outlook.com and Office365 don't share info with advertisers, don't scan emails etc. MS has toned down their Scroogled campaign, but web site is still alive and - to my knowledge - unchallenged by Google.

Nor do Google. They sell advertising space that is weighted to appeal to you through analysis of the data that Google collects, in line with their Terms Of Use. I'm not sure in what world that could be called whoring and it's a pretty gross comparison.

You are just trading one devil for the other.
Typing words "Apple" and "spying" in Google returned rich choice of links related to NSA, Apple, iPhone, spying, tracking...
Typing words "Microsoft" and "spying" also returned lot of links, though most were related to Xbox and Kinect. Nevertheless.
I didn't bother typing "Google" and "spying". They have to make money out of something, end of the day.

But all that's advertising part. The other part is government-agencies-spying related. Which was what I was referring to, originally.

Well they had to tone the whole "we don't scan your emails" piousness after they scanned the Hotmail account of the French blogger who had access to Windows RT pre-release code: Arrest of secret-leaking ex-Microsoftie raises Hotmail privacy concerns | Ars Technica

If there was a compatible alternative I know I would not waste a second switching from the skype branded application.
Except they are.
Except they're not.
Except the Lord built the house.
