If MS marry up the Xbox with Skype you can see how many users MS will reach in addition to the 600m+ current users of Skype they've just acquired.

Put Skype on a HD TV set and you suddenly get powerful applications delivered to your living room in vivid colour.

This is a good move for Microsoft. No doubt about it.

So it'd going to cost perhaps?

I try not to use MS, my pet hate, but I hate to think that Skype would be subsumed and lost as a free service on phone and web

Nothing is truly for free in this world. If you've enjoyed Skype for a few years for free then you've had a good run. I can't see how MS can recoup $8.5bn by keeping it free, but then I don't know the intracies of what they're planning to do with it.

An added extra to Xbox users?

Put Skype on a pc tablet and bundle it out for free as an added extra there?

Somehow it has to be sales driven.

well my skype phone cost £15, had it 5 years so have very good value, but yes it would, I say be market driven, was it 663 million skype users MS now get ?

going on your previous posts on Skype threads I think you don't get something about it!
