While it doesn't contain the Windows Phone app for Skype, Microsoft has gone ahead and made their marriage to the VOIP company official by launching their own site.

Nothing new is revealed outside of some future promise of deep integration, which is the most obvious outcome of the billion dollar acquisition:

"Together we will bring innovative technology to friends, families and colleagues everywhere. And now the future possibilities for our customers are even more exciting. We will enable more people to connect in more ways that transform and enhance their lives. And this is just the beginning."

Still, it's kind of cool to see those two names together finally. Here's hoping to the Xbox 360 Fall Dashboard refresh contains some Skype goodness as earlier rumored.Find the site here. Thanks, TheWeeBear, for the heads up
