Microsoft Buying Skype for $8.5B

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the zomg-avalanche dept.

Approximately one trillion readers wrote in to tell us that there is a big rumor that Microsoft is buying Skype. This follows an earlier rumor that the suitor was Facebook. Unsurprisingly many people are already wondering what it would mean for Linux users of the popular VoIP platform. Many major publications are running versions of the story.

    This brings a whole new meaning to the popular phrase "We're going to skype you in the ass!"

    Congrats Ballmer and Team Microsoft! You go girl!
