Obviously this is strategic. Enterprise Social has a lot of room to expand, MS can do things that Yammer can't do on their own.

- beedogs 14y agoCan, but won't. What have they done with Skype in the year and a half since purchasing it? I can't believe MSFT's shareholders haven't gotten rid of Ballmer yet.
- dewiz 14y agothere's been a lot of work on skype, most of it coming in the next months. it takes months or even years for two big companies to merge and align strategies, not to mention products and tech are often shared behind the curtains so you wouldn't know about progress until some big news or big release, ie. wait till win8
