Will Microsoft Use Skype To Compete With Google Voice?

As we reported earlier today, Microsoft has announced that they are acquiring Skype. Articles on the acquisition on the Internet have range from claims that it is bad news to others wondering why Microsoft is making this purchase. Most people anticipate that Microsoft will integrate Skype into their products, ranging from Xbox to Office, but I am interested in how Microsoft will integrate Skype with Windows Phone.

In my opinion, the most obvious competitor to Skype on mobile phones is Google Voice.
