It sure isn't but lets snatch it before someone else does.<br /><br />I think this was a case with Skype. Plus, my 50 cents says it will never integrate with MS software, they have the Lync for it. But it might be a nice on-the-side business. for mobile.<br /><br />BRNikola Komadinicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340925130381043944.post-37329701937640387712012-01-21T22:12:12.519+02:002012-01-21T22:12:12.519+02:00I think an area where Skype can play a role for Mi...I think an area where Skype can play a role for Microsoft is as an element of the Xbox / Kinnect platform.

Microsoft (just like Google) has the cash but not the innovation. I see Microsoft and Google the same as IBM was in the 1980s. The PC came, they had some interest but did not capitalize in the software arena. The same with mobile and VoIP and Microsoft and Google (with Moto) - just like eBay bought Skype (again people asked why?)

I think it is huge for Microsoft. For years Microsoft has been trying to get into the voice and video business. They didn’t have much success with Response Point. It’s been discontinued. Their Live messenger is good, but it doesn't have nearly the user base Skype has. Combine the two and you have an incredibly large user base that is platform Rob Schaeferhttp://jomartechnologies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340925130381043944.post-34058035691127513842011-05-22T22:41:18.363+03:002011-05-22T22:41:18.363+03:00Hi Jaymes - fully agree, i think microsoft could a...Hi Jaymes - fully agree, i think microsoft could add significant value to windows but somehow cloud enabling it with backup, security and other features such that the average user would not have to worry about windows maintenance.

And Microsoft will still have to fund all the infrastructure and networking around it so it can not remain free all the time.
