Alternative to skype

With Skype being bought by MS, what I feared happened. more and more free features are being removed and need to be paid for. There is also the question of being spied on.


Is there a good alternative we can use, that works also for non-mac users as well as Mac users and is basically free? I need features like sending files, desktop sharing and video calls.


Any experiences? Suggestions?


Thanks

Not, I do not know about encryption which Skype has, but then again recent news stories put Skype encryption in question too.

I am not sure what they are doing, but like I said I want to move away from them becuase of it becoming less and less attractive.
