I think it's an interesting acquisition. Microsoft have been successfully improving their culture over the past 5 to 10 years, which is positive. I think they will be a good custodian and will have the resources to improve the service which it needs to stay relevant, but I'm against having everything owned by a small number of huge companies. Overall I'm sitting on the fence about the whole thing, so we'll see how it pans out. It's annoying to see people just jumping ship without understanding the situation properly and making an informed decision; they're still thinking, Microsoft! Oh no! Abandon ship...
