Why not build one? Why keep trying to lift Skype to this purpose? It seems if they really wanted to they could make a good product.

  it could cost more than 8bn to build one, and would take time too. Slack is right there, already built.

    If it costs you more than $8bil to write a chat app then you're doing something wrong.

      I'd like to know what people think developing something like Slack should cost, and why MS thought $8e9 was a potentially reasonable valuation.

        Keep in mind that the acquisition value is not just the code. There's also the brand, the userbase, the engineers, and not having to actually do it themselves.
