  • Microsoft blew $8.5 billion on Skype only to spend 14 years killing it

    This is a typical… Lord William… and/or AI's editors… of bad news attracts page views… aka ad revenues.

    Microsoft ‘invested’ $8 Billions 14 years ago… to buy tech and system… in which they bases the actual Team offerings.

    It would be like saying that Apple ‘blew’ $3B to buy Drew's company… to build up Apple Music streaming service.
    I get your comment. But going further than that, MS paid $12.5 Billion to purchase Nokia which became Windows Phone. What happened with that?  :s
    Microsoft didn't purchase Nokia, you might be confused from when they purchased a business unit off Nokia.  And wasn't the price down at $7.7B
