It's essentially unchanged since they bought it. I think all they really did was put Yammer notifications in Outlook. I wouldn't be surprised if LinkedIn turns out the same way.

They had to write off the Nokia deal (over 7 billion I believe), this might be the next one of those.

I think their ability to write-off most of the $26b in a couple years must be a defining feature of the whole transaction. I.e. "Oh well, at least the Fed is paying for half of it!"

They also updated Sharepoint to support Yammer integration and made it part of the default Office365 offering.
