Wait, really? I suppose this will be interesting to watch unfold. Opinions? Predictions?

Kiss Skype goodbye I'd say.

They've already bought it. Three or six billion dollars MS paid for it.

Skype will be implemented into Windows Live, probably.

It should be fairly easy to make a profit from the waves this is going to create (if you don't lose your head like 97% of the players on the market that is, heh).(Edited 15 seconds later.)

Also, the news said that Skype has never made a profit so MS must have some big plans for Skype.

Its called Microshit in fear of Apple and Google taking over software/hardware of net
Google is soon to release a O/S that has MS in fear. The cloud with Google open sourced Word ( Word is a huge part of MS profit) Apple just became the # one rated company Today. Google Android has what market share Apple does not. Leaves little left for Microshit future.
Skype was fully owned by E-Bay - sold off to private investors for just under 2Billon with E-Bay holding on to 30% of stock - Skype gets offered $8.5 Billion by MicroShit - What does stock market think? E-bay jumps up - MicroShit drops down lolol
My guess is that MS will deploy Skype as cross platform right up to hotmail because Google has taking so many away from Hotmail. Actually one few of the good moves MicroShit has made.
I am forced to hold comments re Cell phone carriers per general orders!!! Yea I do end up selling my soul to the Devil as a consultant, such is life but I damn well make sure THEY end up paying X~Tra for it

I'll never use Skype now. I can't as it is because it doesn't work on my laptop anyway.

@previous (J)
I am not allowed to have it on any of my computers by clients contract. I do have it on multiple cell phone & note books, but only as a test "item" nor can I use it for phone anything except directly to clients platform. I think its ok for me to say - Verizon would not allow its use in the past and now its even encouraged.
I have tested a much better gizmo then Skype. So stay tuned but I do not have a clue how that company will deploy it. $ is still hard to get for start ups.
