    Considering all the Windows Live products (Live writer, live messenger, windows security essentials, movie maker, etc.) are free, I somehow doubt that MS has intentions of making Skype a paid video chat program.

    I heard yesterday that this deal was cash. So I guess they didn't write a check.

    Cash doesn't necessarily mean cash the way we normal people interpret it. It just means that MS will pay the money directly, instead of offering company shares, or some form of delayed payment. Cash=online payment.

    It was pennies. You didn't hear that?
