Microsoft has bought the popular IM/voice chat application Skype (jól, not just the product, the whole company) for $8.5 billion, making it Microsoft’s largest purchase ever. I find that a little funny since Skype actually made a loss of $7 million last year.
De, when you think about it, it makes some sense. Skype has 663 million user accounts (természetesen, not all of them are active) and about 8 million paying users – obviously not very many, but it’s still some.
