I just don't think Skype is a 8.5 billion dollar feature, especially any MS implementation. It's not like Skype was a closed platform- they have an API and their policy is to let the market decide which UX will win. I'm sure MS could have built all the features they want without buying the company. Apple already used the video conference marketing gimmick anyway and it's not exciting anymore. Who uses Facetime? Video conferencing solutions are good enough.
