They probably could and do it better...but there is no guarantee that it would have the 150 million users that Skype has.
Microsoft basically bought 150 million users with 8.5 billion dollars. Skype had 30% growth every year for the last 4 years, and once it hits mainstream services like Xbox live and is native in Windows 8...it should easily double in a few years.
