Microsoft Losers Google

May 13th, according to foreign media reports, the biggest news in these days is nothing more than

Microsoft

Buying Skype for $8 billion 500 million, but the acquisition can be said to be a couple of joys and worries. What are the winners and losers?


Winner:


Investors of Skype: $2 billion 500 million two years ago

market value

The purchase is now sold at $8 billion 500 million, which is obviously quite worthwhile.


Mark Anderson, one of Skype's investors, is now regarded as the most influential Silicon Valley because of the acquisition.

People.


The two founders of Skype: share the value of some key Skype's intellectual property rights in their hands, and now they have a value of $110 million.


Skype's management team: most of them were brought by new investors a few years ago. They could hardly stay to work for Microsoft, but they earned enough to enjoy life.


Facebook: without spending any 10 Fen, Google's Skype takeover action was successfully tied to failure.


NOKIA mobile phones and other Windows Phone 7 partners: Microsoft now has the capital to compete with Google Voice and apple FaceTime, and NOKIA, a newly formed alliance, has been linked with other partners.


EBay:Skype used to lose money for eBay, but now it sells the shares owned by Skype, but ends up making money.


Observer


Microsoft: Skype definitely has great potential, but it depends on whether it can be used well. But in the case of continuous burning of Microsoft's Internet service department and Skype losing money, it will be hard to say whether the purchase will be extra or deducted.


Loser:


CISCO: Skype company always aims at terminal consumers, but after being acquired by Microsoft, CISCO will become the biggest enemy in the enterprise video conferencing market.


Google: if Microsoft uses Skype properly, then it will pose a threat to Google, whether in the fields of enterprise software, mobile or social networking.


Skype's original investor, Index Ventures and its partner, Mike Volpi, was warned by two of Skype's founders and was kicked out of the ranks of investors.


European technology company: Skype was once the largest successful company in Europe, but now it has basically become an American company.


Whether it's a winner or a loser, things have already happened. I'm afraid you can only accept the reality and prepare for the next war.
