Steve Ballmer is just pinching himself. He now has yet another company that he will undoubtedly fail to successfully integrate into Microsoft $MSFT. The chatter at the water cooler is that many took their lives today at Skype headquarters, from the rank in file all the way up to some in senior management.
Nevertheless, Steve was just euphoric. My money says fail, just based on his track record. Skype’s valuation has tripled to $9 billion over the last few years. Nothing like buying at the top.
