Skype 4.0 beta on the HP Mini-Note- good

Since reporting on the good results using the new Skype 4.0 beta for video calls yesterday I’m getting asked by many if it works well on the HP 2133 Mini-Note.  You may recall that Skype video calls didn’t work worth a flip on the Mini-Note running Vista but worked acceptably using the old version of Skype once I upgraded the Mini to WinXP.  I felt the question about this new Skype beta was a good one so last night I installed it on the HP Mini-Note and gave it a try.  I am happy to report that the quality of the video Skype chat with Kevin was acceptable and I found the video to be higher quality than the old version of Skype.  There was a little bit of choppiness at the beginning of the call but Skype quickly settled down and there were no issues with the video and the audio quality was excellent.  It may be my imagination but I believe this Skype beta even made Kevin appear more manly:
