Microsoft purchased Skype last week for $8.5 billion as the Internet phone service collected its largest phone bill in company history. Seeking for new advances in technology, the purchase of Skype hopes to bring a larger market and larger dollar signs to the even larger corporation. Microsoft intends to introduce the video calling services to its smartphones, X-box gaming consoles, and Office email and document software according to the Los Angeles Times. The acquisition has many analysts scratching their heads much like in 2005, when Ebay payed $3.1 billion for control of the company and never saw much of a profit. Microsoft is expected to have the same type of trouble and like Ebay, lose more than a dropped call, money.
