Skype and WinME?

Anyone have success with Skype in WinME? Voice-chat worked absolutely fine with
MSN Messenger for a while but then suddenly stopped working. Not sure how that happend;
not sure if the problem started when I was using MSN Messenger 5.x and upgraded to
6.2. Can't remember anymore. Anyhow, I really miss the easy use of voice-chat in
Messenger. I've found a couple possible fixes to the voice-chat problem (replacing
the RTCDLL.dll file (I have the correct version) and diabling QoS (I don't have that
service enabled) and making sure UPnP is enable (I did that recently, but can't test
this right now) Meanwhile, I've heard about Skype, but it doesn't seem to be designed
to work with WinME. I would like to hear from anyone else experiencing the same
problems and concerns.

and....
Can I use Skype with Windows 98 or Windows ME?
Because it hasn’t been fully tested, we have not yet certified Skype for use
with these operating systems. Skype may work with Windows 98 or ME but we cannot
yet guarantee compatibility. Some WinME/9x video (and possibly other) drivers tend
to use 100% of processor for their needs for relatively long periods of time. This
can cause the audio quality to degrade significantly. In addition, WinME/9x does
not offer full unicode support, which means that some things may not display properly.
Skype does not work on WinNT at the moment. We may support these platforms in the
future and will make any future announcements on our website.
