The Wall Street Journal citing those infamous people familiar with the matter is reporting on May 9 that Microsoft is close to buying Skype.
From All About Microsoft:
Microsoft close to buying Skype for $7 billion? Really?
The Journal says Microsoft is willing to pay $7 billion-plus; The New York Times is saying $8.5 billion to grab the VOIP company that lost $7 million last year. And AllThingsD also is claiming $8.5 billion, and, as of 11:30 p.m. ET, is saying Microsoft will announce the Skype purchase first thing on May 10.
Like Business Insider’s Matt Rosoff, I was skeptical that Microsoft might make good on the rumors and buy Skype. I also felt the potential deal (first rumored by GigaOm’s Om Malik) made no sense.
