A few months back, Microsoft announced that they will be acquiring social network LinkedIn for $26.2 billion dollars. As per Microsoft, the deal is expected to be finished by end of December. Later it was revealed that Salesforce was one of the top companies which were interested in acquiring LinkedIn.
