Hey Guys

Did you hear about Microsoft's another strategic move after it shared its plans of making Bing a default search engine on BlackBerry devices?Ahh..After a great brawl between the Google, Facebook and Microsoft to own Skype, the latter emerged successful in buying Skype for $8.5 billion. It is the highest cost Microsoft has ever paid after it acquisition of aQuantive Inc, an online advertising firm. Board of directors of both companies have cheerfully accepted this definitive agreement between the two. And with this acquisition, company is planning to elevate voice and video communication accessibility that will support consumers and enterprise users in generating high business revenues.

Do you think it will help bringing more business and high return on this hefty investment?

Maneet,
