With Microsoft purchasing Skype in what was a very suprising announcement and tech deal of the year, what’s in store for the future of VoIP services?
Five months after the deal was officially announced, the Microsoft / Skype deal has now been finalised.
Even though Skype will most likely bare the Microsoft logo on their products, Skype’s CEO Tony Bates is still on top of the operation and will be still be heading up the company.
On Microsoft’s official blog, Bates said, “By bringing together the best of Microsoft and the best of Skype, we’ll deliver amazing new experiences for consumers and business around the world.”
Adding that, “This represents a huge leap forward in Skype’s mission to be the communications choice for a billion people every day.” In reality, things shouldn’t change too much for Skype customers, although you can expect deeper integration with Windows products.”
