Skype now becomes a new business division within Microsoft. Skype CEO Tony Bates assumes the title of president of the Skype Division, and will report directly to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

Skype will now presumably support Microsoft devices including the Xbox, Kinect, Windows Phone and other Windows devices, while Microsoft will integrate Skype with its services such as Lync, Outlook and Xbox Live.
