Microsoft compra Skype

A gigante da informática anunciou a compra da Skype, empresa de telefonia via internet. A Microsoft pagou US$ 8,5 bilhões (cerca de R$ 14 bilhões) pelo negócio, a mais cara compra já feita pela companhia de Bill Gates em seus 36 anos de existência.

Com a Skye a Microsoft expande suas ações no mundo da tecnologia. O Skype é um dos mais populares softwares de telefonia que usa a internet como plataforma. O grande atrativo do programa é que por ser via internet uma conversa telefônica usando o Skype pode sair de graça, inclusive em chamadas internacionais e de qualquer duração.

“O Skype é um serviço extraordinário, amado por milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo”, afirmou o diretor executivo da Microsoft, Steve Ballmer. “Juntos vamos criar o futuro das comunicações em tempo real.”
