MSFT Paid $8.5B for Skype?

Overpaid?

Yes?

No?

Overpaid based on the past results but who knows how they can integrate it - you'd have to have a technical perspective to be able to have a good view on it.

Wasn't Skype sold to eBay for <$100MM years ago.

^^Yeah, something like that.

That's why eBay took a $1.4 - $1.5B charge on this deal 2 yrs after it bought it.

Speaking of an expensive phone bill....

I guess it would be cool to see Skype integrated with the Xbox...although I haven't turned my on in months.

That's hilarious! ;-) Bravo!

I'm fine with the acquisition. MSFT needs to get back between the user and the web now that everyone uses chrome, google, fb for everything.

Yah if they could integrate Skype into windows or xbox, that would be pretty cool.

I'm accustomed to 12-year-olds screaming at me on XBox Live. Now I will be able to video chat and see their faces too. Awesome!

How much cash flow doyou think Skype will realistically add to their bottom line/EPS?

Honestly, this doesn't seem very inspiring to me.
