    Hmm. In the end, this can't be a good thing for Linux users.

      Yeah I noticed "Skype is now part of Microsoft" notes on a MS page I was looking at yesterday.

      Well, these are both large bureaucratic organizations -- perhaps in this case it's a good thing. If they decide tomorrow to screw the Linux users, it will take them 6 months to get it done.
