Overpaid?
Yes?
No?作者: kingstongal 时间: 2011-10-4 06:57
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.作者: joehogue 时间: 2011-10-4 07:00
Wasn't Skype sold to eBay for <$100MM years ago.作者: cfalevel2011 时间: 2011-10-4 07:02
^^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.作者: wizofoz 时间: 2011-10-4 07:06

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.作者: giants2010 时间: 2011-10-4 07:12
Yah if they could integrate Skype into windows or xbox, that would be pretty cool.作者: onelife1 时间: 2011-10-4 07:14
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!作者: segalm 时间: 2011-10-4 07:16
How much cash flow doyou think Skype will realistically add to their bottom line/EPS?
Honestly, this doesn't seem very inspiring to me.

maybe it wasn't for the cash flow skype as a product will bring but increased cash flow from a better Microsoft product that incorporates Skype?
