Microsoft Starts Integrating Skype Into Office

New Office 365 Logo - Orange.png (1888654)Microsoft announced that it planned to buy the popular peer-to-peer VoIP service Skype in early 2011 and the acquisition closed last October. Since then, though, Microsoft mostly left Skype alone and continued to run it as a stand-alone product. With the release of the next version of Office, though, Microsoft is now integrating Skype closely with its office suite. Skype will, for example, now power the "presence" feature in Outlook and - just like Yammer, Microsoft's most recent acquisition - will become a default part of every version of Office.
