在 Slashdot 上看到有人在 64 bit 環境下跑 Skype 會出現錯誤訊息，然後他就仔細看了錯誤訊息去 debug，發現 Skype 在啟動時居然會產生一個 .com 的執行檔讀取 BIOS 資訊，但是目前還不知道讀了這些資訊以後到底在幹什麼：Why Does Skype Read the BIOS?。

slashdot 的 comments 裡有一些合理猜測, 不妨看看 :)
不過我是昨天看的, 沒有 follow up
ya… 我也看了那些 comments，不過沒什麼結論…
本來有人猜是讀取 CPU 資訊，不過有人跳出來說有 CPUID 可以用，大費周章從 BIOS 挖很不實際。
有人說想要做奇怪的使用統計，但是沒辦法證實到底是不是真的…
有人說創辦人前科累累 (Kazaa)，如果 Skype 裡有 Spyware 之類的東西一點也不稀奇，但是還是沒辦法證實 :o
