Microsoft buys Skype for 8.5 billion

I'm trying to figure out if this is a good or bad thing. Right now, I use skype on my apple, linux, android and windows platforms. Will this go away or is this a part of Microsoft embracing the multi platform world of social media and collaboration?

I want to believe that Microsoft has embraced the new world of multiple platforms and technologies coming together to create seamless collaborative experiences for the world. Am I dreaming of a utopia that cannot exist? So - my thought is that "They" are getting it, and this will be part of the foray into connective technologies across MS boundaries. (Picture background music playing - when you wish, upon a star...)
