Actually, with the purchase of Skype, Microsoft inherited Skype's development effort on the Silk codec, which Skype had open-sourced and taken to the IETF for standardization. That very same codec was taken up to become a part of Opus, which is based on two codecs, Silk for narrow-band (speech) and CELT for broadband (music).

So now Microsoft can be classified a major contributor to Opus. Does this make Microsoft more likely to adopt Opus broadly? It think it just might!
