Oh great! F***in' MS acquired Skype!

While I don't consider this to be a coffin nail, this is just one more thing that may make Linux less mainstream friendly.

MS' acquisition of Skype may end support of Linux altogether. I say "may" because MS recently delivered a Hotmail app for Android, which as we all know is simply Google's idea of a mobile distro of Linux. This app was free, and as far as I know, there is no paid version. This really doesn't jive with MS' capitalist gameplan. (Can you say UEFI? Of course you can).

With all the news about MS and other companies attempting to put a stranglehold on Google, Android, and in some measure, the open source community, you have to wonder if this acquisition is one of many fingers around FOSS' throat.

Let's see how long Skype will be available for Linux...
