Microsoft Confirms Skype Will Come Installed With Windows 8.1, So It's Time To Play Anti-Trust Bingo

2013-08-15_09h36_08Today Microsoft announced that Skype will come installed in Windows 8.1, likely helping the communications service that was purchased for $8.5 billion grow more quickly. The move immediately causes something of a gut reaction that this will be challenged in court, probably in Europe.Microsoft has a history of pissing off regulators by over-bundling its own services that compete with third parties into its operating system. However, I strongly suspect that Skype will lean only on publicly available Windows APIs, providing something of a fire shield.
