So What Other Parts Microsoft May Sell? Massive?

,----[ Quote ]
| The rumor we have heard is that MSFT will sell Massive at a fraction of the 
| cost it bought it for. Despite the fact that Massive had a massive lead in 
| the in-game ad sectorâit announced several major ad deals with big gaming 
| companies, including Activisionâit may say something about the state of the 
| sector itself. This follows a rival IGA Worldwide also putting itself up for 
| sale earlier this year. More as we find out moreâtips, anonymous or 
| otherwise, appreciated (tip box in right hand column).
