Skype will still be run by its current management. It may not be a bad thing for them to finally have a well supported home if Balmer gives them enough leeway. --------------------------- Sony|SonyIR|Sony NEX|Minolta Film|Polaroid If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine "No one cares how hard you worked...but they will notice if you didn't work hard enough." -Ctein |

Wow... that was really dumb of MS. They bought quite the loser for a major chunk of change. What makes Skype worth 9B dollars? Holy crap. MS is just burning cash to try and stay relevant in some manner or another. Sad. |

Microsoft needed a wirte-off for 2011...  Probably going to start charging you a monthly service fee in order to use it....  --------------------------- Sigma SD1-M Converted to Nikon F & SD14 One Converted to Nikon F and One Converted to Leica R...... |
