Microsoft Acquires Skype.

It has been announced today that Microsoft has purchased streaming
chat giant, Skype, for $8.5 Billion.

They have said that Skype will now have XBOX 360 and Kinect functionality.

Microsoft has also made the Microsoft Skype Division, so that they can
keep support on existing non-Microsoft platforms, meaning it might not
be removed from products like Sony's PSP, but it likely won't be on
the new NGP in the future.
