It would be of interest to know how much of Fastrack P2P technologies is built into the core of Skype and more so how much of it was developed by the Morpheus team

Interesting that NONE of this came up when Skype was not being acquired! Magically all this info comes gushing out when the big $4.1 B figure was revealed! Yet again I have difficulty in understanding what Ebay is going to dow with Skype and to add to that is a an acquisition that has more holes then Swiss Cheese.
