I got this (A IE Scripting Error) when trying to use the Facebook Contacts feature in the New Skype, shortly after it locked up my VM (Server 2003 running on my Debian workstation) - Before that was getting some pretty high CPU usage.

What have your experiences been with the new Skype? Is it actually any good or do you find that it's turning more and more into bloatware?

What new Facebook features does it have exactly? Is it just chat or? Heard something about it having the newsfeeds too

Yeah that's correct, it searches Facebook for contacts, and also allows you to have Facebook Integration.
