Well..after a week of gossip, it’s finally official.
Microsoft acquired Skype for USB 8.5bn.
There’s not a lot of information about this but I believe this means that Xbox and Windows Phone capabilities, could be expanded by using the know-how and capabilities of Skype.
Also Microsoft’s Lync, Outlook and Xbox Live can take advantage of this acquisition.
Skype has at the moment 17 million users worldwide.
Here’s the official Microsoft communication:
