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's a smart move by MS but as always it's what they do with it that counts.
Unfortunately MS hasn't too good a record of exploiting the potential of it's products outside it's core business.
Certainly the VC's who invested in skype must be pleased with their return.
