According to foreign media reports, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced at today's Microsoft's Global Partner Conference that, microsoft will integrate Skype into commercial communication product lync.Ballmer said that Skype is a bridge between lync and the outside world, which is very similar to the intention revealed by people involved in the acquisition of Skype.

It is reported that Microsoft will use Skype as the basis for lync to join the external telephone system. Lync is a commercial product of Microsoft. It is mainly used for communications between companies. Its predecessor is communications server. lync provides a brand new and intuitive user experience, integrates different communication methods into one platform across PCs, Web devices, mobile phones, and other mobile devices.

"Some Microsoft partners asked me, does your acquisition of Skype mean that lync is no longer valued? However, the opposite is true. We acquired Skype to enable enterprises to gain their desired autonomy through Active Directory and lync, and enable enterprise-level users, consumers, and business partners to closely connect, "Ballmer said." Although this is partly because customers get discounts for purchasing other products when purchasing product packages, however, lync is still Microsoft's fastest growing product. "
