You might have heard the rumors that Skype would be acquired for $4 billion by Google or Facebook. However, Skype was just acquired by Microsoft for $8.5 billion, which means the software giant values Skype at around $1,000 per user —a price some still think was far too high.

But whether or not the price was right, we do know that Microsoft will change Skype. We’ll just have to wait and see how much.  And we can all very well see Skype becoming part of the Microsoft Office suite and Xbox gaming platform.
