Microsoft has acquired Skype!



The news is confirmed, Microsoft has acquired Skype,


The transaction has been made for $8.5 billion.


Skype was founded in 2003 and was bought by eBay two years later.
In 2009 eBay sold the majority of the stake to a consortium that included Silver Lake, Andreesses and Horowitz and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board  for $ 1.9 Billion cash.


In the end of the day we can clearly say that we hope that with this new giant behind skype hopefully all the users will have benefits out of it and this amazing service will continue to increase its technology and help people to be easily connected!
