Microsoft Acquires Skype

So this is an interesting turn of events. Microsoft today announced that they had acquired Skype to take advantage of the customer base and the video technology that powers the Skype Brand. In addition they are looking to provide the tools and services via their Windows7 products.

Below is a screen shot of the proposition being presented by Steve Ballmer regarding the Acquisition.

I look forward to seeing what Microsoft will do with the technology with regards to linking up the xbox360 platform, Microsoft Lync and end carrier providers such as AT&T or Vodafone.

What do you think?
