Microsoft takeover Skype

Postby Morsec0de » June 3rd, 2011, 1:45 am

Personally, I don't like Microsoft. I don't like their operating system. The only Microsoft product I like is the Xbox 360, but I haven't played that in months, so it's not great, otherwise I would still be playing it. I feel it's sad Microsoft are taking Skype over. Skype have been running since 2003, and 8 years later, they're being taken over.

I think Skype will turn rubbish as a result of this. Microsoft will probably integrate Skype with it's Windows Live service, which is sad because Windows Live doesn't work.

Interesting thoughts. I like Microsoft, I like Hotmail, (I hate Messenger though lol)...

I actually thing it's gonna be good for Skype and good for Microsoft.

Their messenger is the worst out of the lot. They will probably change the name to be 'Windows Live Skype' or something like that.

That would be fine. Messenger is terrible. But Hotmail, Windows, etc, are good.

Windows 7 isn't too bad, but it get's infected too easily in my opinion. Whereas Linux, Mac, etc are pretty solid when it comes to infections.

I know, but they're not as prone to getting virus's as Window's PC's are.
