Skype now officially property of Microsoft

[Deleted member 178]

Microsoft has completed the $8.5 billion acquisition of consumer VoIP and instant messaging service provider Skype from investment firm Silver Lake that was first announced
six months ago.

Now, Skype is officially a new business division inside of Microsoft, and the company's CEO Tony Bates will become president of that division, reporting directly to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. For now, it appears Skype's products won't change.

Great, I didn't let down for Skype since I used for about 6-7 years for having great video calling experience.
