Microsoft confirms it spent half billion on Danger
|
|
Microsoft filed its annual report Thursday, confirming that it spent $500 million for its acquisition earlier this year of Sidekick maker Danger.
The company also made its larger $1.3 billion purchase of Norway’s Fast Search and Transfer and closed its $5.9 billion Aquantive purchase. Other deals made during the year added another $1.1 billion, Microsoft said.
Other interesting Microsoft facts from the report:
Microsoft now occupies 2 million square feet of real estate that it owns and 8 million square feet of leased space.
It ended the year with $23.66 billion in cash and short-term investments, up slightly from the $23.41 billion it had as of June 30, 2007.
That’s what I got from a quick read. Let me know if I missed anything.
