More so home and soho markets not having IT staff to do all this hard stuff for them.Īnd also not wanting to use software only or external hardware boxs like engine. It just makes sense because skypes own offerings are well not of corporate preference perhaps there that sounds good. Why because they are going to renew the skype for asterisk contract aren’t they.ĭigium software is a winning partnership with MS if they go beyond 2013 please MS i have never asked anything from you in my life first time requester. I think MS buying it putting a positive spin on things is the best thing that can happen to it. The new one that VHA pushes to it’s users is yuck. Well looks like i grabbed the last known S60 series beta just before it vanished 😉 And I think that, in fact, will be one of our competitive advantages, both for the Skype communications services, and in fact, for the devices as we move forward. But, fundamental to the value proposition of communications is being able to reach everybody, whether they happen to be on your device or not. We obviously love Windows, and we love Windows Phone, and we love the Xbox, and we’re going to do a lot of work together to design these things and optimise the work that we do across the device, the operating system and the communications software, no question about it.
We will continue to support non-Microsoft platforms, because it’s fundamental to the value proposition of communications. CEO Steve Ballmer made that point very directly during the Skype buyout press conference: The second is that while Microsoft has placed a lot of emphasis on how it can make Skype work better with its own products (including Windows Phone 7 and Kinect), it has also said it will continue to build versions for the Mac and for other mobile platforms. Microsoft is predicting that the purchase will be settled this calendar year, but that means we’re unlikely to see a lot of product changes for quite a while. Firstly, it’s going to take some time to settle all the regulatory issues associated with a deal of this size. There are two key details to note in the announcement of the buyout. That news has created a lot of panicked reactions along the lines of “oh no we’ll all have to use Windows Live/what about cross-platform support?/Redmond is evil”, but no matter what changes eventually happen to the Skype platform, it’s likely to be a while before we see them. As was widely anticipated, Microsoft has purchased Skype for $US8.5 billion.
