Microsoft nearing $7 Billion purchase of Skype

[cloud1161]

i have a feeling this would hurt both companies.   skype would hurt since their market would become, more than likely but not necessarily, strictly microsoft products.  not only that, but there are more video communication services opening every day so that would put even more tension on the competitive market.  microsoft would just be pushed further into debt from the 500 mill or whatever it was spent on advertising the kinect, not saying theres anything wrong with that or kinect, just that i dont see how they could be making a profit yet from kinect after spending that much on advertising.
