MS buys Skype for $8.5 billion
Despite not making any money, Microsoft has decided to buy Skype for a huge $8.5 billion in cash, largest ever acquisition Microsoft has ever done.
Many are suspecting the primary reason is to boost its Windows Mobile platform, though MS could gain from some other aspects of Skype.  A number of shareholders fear that MS overpaid this deal, similar to a number of past MS acquisitions.


More can be found on the WSJ article.
