I'm using a windows client and I haven't seen an ad on skype. What I do see, on the home screen, is a picture an Asian woman and right below it a link to "How to make free voice and video calls".

Within conversations, there's no ads or self promoting links that I can see.

I get perhaps one spam request a month but that's to be expected. I use to get 3-5 per day on MSN and 10 a day on icq.

No issue with the user interface here. It's simple and to the point. The very few times I've used video it has been hot or miss. Sometimes fantastic and sometimes choppy. I rarely use video though so it hasn't really bothered me.
