This one is interesting – Microsoft is apparently buying Skype.
eBay bought it and did nothing with it – just milked it, which is basically what eBay is all about and what it was founded on (not a criticism, just an observation).
Apparently, Google was after Skype big-time, but Microsoft looks to have won.
Skype is extremely useful, and it is a growing application for mobile platforms. It is also extremely stable, and apart from the absence of a decent fax facility – capitalised on by rip-off software like PamFax – it offers everything else you could want.
