    I use Saleforce in my business http://www.jetinteractive.com.au/ and the skype for salesforce application works perfectly for those staff that run PCs but not those on Macs. I realise that this app is only designed for windows but all Macs are intel based and run windows using VM Fusion.

    The Skype for saleforce app seems to run but the skype account will not log in.

    Is there any help for this as we have 5 very frustrated Mac users that love Skype and love Salesforce.

    I forgot to mention that the latest version of Skype 4.0 works perfectly on the VMfusion Windows side of the Macs.

    It just will not run inside Salesforce
