(and let's be honest, in the corporate world no-one runs Asterisk).
I beg to differ, and so do Yahoo, Orbitz, Safeway, the US Army, the city of Amsterdam, the French Postal Service and about 999,994 other businesses. Asterisk and Asterisk derivatives power communications at an amazing number of businesses, governmental institutions, schools, etc.
I have no idea if the Microsoft acquisition had anything to do with Skype's decisions (several well-reasoned blog posts seem to indicate that it did not) but Asterisk certainly commands enough of the business communications market to make it a threat to Skype's "Skype For Business" plans.
