The title on Slashdot was "Microsoft Kills Skype For Asterisk", but I thought that was too speculative for HN.

It's the first thing I thought of, and it could be a clue as to where MS may lead Skype. Are they going to come out with some killer VOIP app for Windows 7 mobiles phones that will cause us all to drop our iPhones & 'droids?

I hope they realize that the 'killer app' part of Skype is the amount of people using it. If they kill platforms, they lose people. If they lose people, they kill Skype.

Case in point: If they kill either the Mac client or the iOS client, they will lose me, and thus all my family. I hope they realize that.

Active Directory integration, mayhap?
