According to the Wall Street Journal, the deal would value Mojang at more than $2 billion and could be signed as soon as this week. mojang is obviously extremely profitable but their main product is a cross platform java game, which i would have thought is the literal antithesis of ms

i'm sure ms can make mojang unprofitable, unpopular and without any of its original employees within several months of buying it. perhaps they will set a new record.

quote:The news that Microsoft would be rename its Bing content apps with the MSN brand was met immediately with the resistance I expected from the Windows community. But if you step back and think about it for a moment, this rebranding—and the resultant relaunch of MSN as a web-based portal for all of the information that backs these wonderful apps—actually makes sense. MSN, after all, is Microsoft's online content brand, and Bing is about search. Put another way, MSN is Microsoft's Yahoo, and Bing is Microsoft's Google. Can we rename the thread?
