微软收购VOIP软件公司

Microsoft acquires VOIP software company

Microsoft Corp. is acquiring a Swiss software company that specializes in voice-over-IP applications with a view to adding such a function to its Office products, it said today.

The world's largest software maker will acquire media-streams.com AG, a Zurich-based company, for an undisclosed amount, it said. The technology it gains as a result of the deal will help it add VoIP to the Office Live platform, which already supports real-time communications via channels such as instant messaging.

VoIP is a hot area of the IT industry at present, as can be seen by eBay Inc.'s $2.6 billion acquisition of Skype Technologies SA last month. Its image has been changing from something that consumers use to make cheap, low-quality voice calls via their PCs, to a more stable technology suitable for applications used by businesses.

AMTeam.org消息：微软公司正在收购位于瑞士的一家软件公司，这家软件公司擅长VOIP技术，微软公司希望通过收购这家软件公司来把这项新的功能增加到它的Office产品套件中去。

目前，微软已经在他的办公软件套装中增加了即时通讯的能力，并且希望通过这次收购行动，能够进一步增强办公软件的通讯能力。

Voip技术是目前IT领域比较领先的技术，大家都在积极的发展这项技术。eBay已经收购了Skype技术公司。通过这项技术，消费者有望可以通过这种技术来实现廉价的低质量的网络通话，这项技术非常的有前途。

市场目前对此表示了积极的态度，希望能够尽快看到最新的增加了该项功能的软件。
