Having Windows users be able to call each other and every other Skype user right out of the box could be pretty interesting.
- sunir 16y agoSkype already has enough market share that bundling with Windows is not likely to generate enough growth to justify the purchase alone.
- qq66 16y agoWindows has ~4 times as many users as Skype.
- brown9-2 16y agoYou mean instead of those out-of-the-box Windows users having to just go to www.skype.com? It's pretty easy to install.
- evgen 16y agoThere is a significant difference between bringing in a new product and having that product be a part of the standard install on every laptop/desktop from the perspective of Enterprise IT.
- Sandman 16y agoYes, but wouldn't that get them in trouble because of the anti-monopoly laws? If I remember correctly, they got sued just for bundling IE with Windows, right?
- adsr 16y agoWindows users could do this already without Microsoft owning Skype. Users who aren't able to install Skype on their own, probably won't use it anyway.
