Microsoft's investment in Skype is not finally speculated anymore and it makes Sense
In May 2010, Techradar launch an online site that Microsoft would not do stupid when buying Skype. There is some speculation about that. First, the provision of voice services based on Internet protocol (VoiP) becomes important at this time. That's why Google has Google Voice service and Apple have FaceTime. Microsoft's purchase of Skype will make no less with them.
If the Skype VoIP service on every Windows-based Phone handsets, manufacturers can sell more devices. The result, sales of Windows Phone will be fueled. So, what to do with Facebook? One thing to remember. Microsoft has a stake in social networking business is owned by Mark Zuckerberg.
Second, Skype integration with Facebook will create a win-win situation for Microsoft and Facebook. They can take advantage of Facebook's user base a lot to offer VoIP service Skype. Apparently, Microsoft has big plans behind the actions they bought Skype.
It is possible, the company will integrate Skype in all their artificial devices. Xbox Live is no exception. U.S. $ 8 billion is not small amounts. If Microsoft's shrewd use, investment in Skype would be very beneficial.
