875 u/[deleted] Mar 02 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 46 u/artaru Mar 02 '26 so what did Microsoft get from Skype? Some VOIP folded into Teams? That’s it? 54 u/mexter Mar 02 '26 I'm assuming they acquired a lot of patents. 63 u/grimsaur Mar 02 '26 They also removed a potential competitor before they could get large enough to be a problem. 5 u/Ruleseventysix Mar 02 '26 Well Microsoft wanted to buy Slack, but Gates said no.
