Any serious, large software company _has_ to have in-house linux expertise.

I would be most concerned about the probable security holes. Linux does not need
any trashware from M$. There are FOSS things similar to Skype, which need
more publicity, so they will be used. GN
U Free Call, QutePhone,Reverse
engineered Skype (reverse engineering is legal in many countries including
the EU, for the purpose of interoperability), Ekiga and doubtless more which I have not
found yet. As it happens, I have a need for such a thing myself and will be
looking into what works over the next few months. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Microsoft is taking a "hands off" approach with Skype. Go to the
Skype.comp web site an you won't find any Microsoft logos or branding. They have
recognized that the "Microsoft" name is a negative to many people. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
