I disagree that the key asset of brand is not being affected. Skype's name is definitely being dragged through the mud. It's pretty much a certainty that Microsoft would not want to buy a company that people would feel embarrassed to say they worked for. Microsoft's senior management is already under the cloud of being perceived as screw-ups. This must be really pissing them off.
