要点翻译：
Microsoft will acquire Skype, the leading Internet communications company, for $8.5 billion in cash from the investor group led by Silver Lake.
以85亿美金现金收购，真有钱啊。。。

Skype will support Microsoft devices like Xbox and Kinect, Windows Phone and a wide array of Windows devices, and Microsoft will connect Skype users with Lync, Outlook, Xbox Live and other communities. Microsoft will continue to invest in and support Skype clients on non-Microsoft platforms.
Skype将支持微软的XBOX，Kinect，Windows Phone和其他设备；微软将把Skype用户和Lync(以前的Office Communicator的最新版本)，Outlook，Xbox Live 等全部连接起来。

Skype will become a new business division within Microsoft, and Skype CEO Tony Bates will assume the title of president of the Microsoft Skype Division, reporting directly to Ballmer.
Skype 将成为微软的一个新事业部（也就是说不是划归任何一个现有的事业部），Skype的CEO Tony Bates将任新该事业部的总裁，直接报告给鲍尔默。

显然直接在XBOX Live上通过Skype呼叫到好友手机上搅基指日可待啊，Windows Phone跟Skype结合起来可以秒杀face time么？
