The fact that we're able to run the Aquarium in multiple instances, or run Marine Aquarium and Dream Aquarium side-by-side proves that DirectX and Direct3D applications CAN run side-by-side if properly written.

It is clear that Skype's new video feature was sloppily written and completely ties up all DirectX/Direct3D resources in such a way that no other 3D apps can run. This is a huge bug that they need to fix.
