Yet another Skype thread...
-
So much hue and cry on sudden demise(?) of Skype. Ballmer successfully cracked a deal which will turn into Loss Loss situation for all (MS, Skype and Users) My question is who created fat *** MS and put huge amount of $$$ in their pockets to do such crap acquisition? Real culprits are in the answer.

Nonsense. Pure and utter drivel.

It is clear to me that what skype is getting is fast money for the investors. It is also clear to me that Microsoft wants to have skype in their cell phones and integrated in windows apart, of course, of figthing google voice in a more wide way... (today Google voice works only in USA). IMHO the only ones that can lose something here are the users... and it is something that we should see... PS: I'm of course worried about that as I'm using their software often... :~

Agree to a point with 1. For 2. MS has a history to destroy everything they touch (remember Hotmail?) and I am sure nothing different will be here.

Not everything. There are a lot of Microsoft technologies that started life as other applications. DOS wasn't Microsoft originally. SQL Server wasn't Microsoft originally. Shall I continue? Broad brush generalisations like this serve no purpose other than to spread FUD.

Yes. I use it daily. In fact, I just checked my e-mail this morning. Are you saying it was destroyed in the meantime?
