Software Giant Microsoft has purchased Skype for a whooping $8.5 billion. So the big question is, did Microsoft overpay for Skype?
eBay had purchased Skype in 2005 for $2.6 billion but they found it hard to keep it profitable. From eBay point of view, Microsoft offer to buy Skype could be the best news this year considering they made losses of $1.4 billion.This is the biggest purchase that Microsoft has done in order to keep up with its main competitors Google and Apple.
