Its gonna be for PC only, after all they like watching Blue Screens.
More like. MS is going to bastardize Skype coding, throw in Silver Lite, some how - meanwhile claim its better than facetime (you need to buy a Nokia phone to get this), while in the background fight off all the security holes it leaves behind.

MS will surely build Skype into Windows Phone, and probably Windows OS. Not sure they will try to make money off it directly, though I'm sure they'll try.
Much like most of what MS does with these acquisitions, it'll probably get turned into a steaming puddle of monkey piss.

"Okay, so we found a way around the tax laws, which helped put a strain on the economy, now we want to bring some of the money back we saved in taxes to fix a problem we were a part of."
How big of them. I'm sure there is no ulterior motive.
Hmmmm. I said..Hmmmm.... So all these companies have a trillion dollars they want to bring home "to invest in America".
These companies already have trillions in the banks. Why would I think they are going to do anything except dodge taxes on the moneys way in.. and then just bank it with the rest of their money. Is their any law that states that this money HAS to be invested? Or is that just slick wording?

It's too late, and I'm tired, good questions though. I'm sure it's not in the common man's best interest like they are trying to make it sound or they would not have avoided the tax in the first place.
