Whaaaaat. M$ is buying Mojang?? Baaaaad. Very bad.

Indeed it did.
The thing is, ever since Gates left M$, it's been getting worse. It can't keep up with the times, it's too controlling and it changes all the wrong things. I mean, look at Games For Windows Live. That was utter crap. It didn't work half the time and the saves were
encrypted to your account. And now they've discontinued the service, so multiplayer just stops working in heaps of games - and unlike when Gamespy shut down, M$ offered no alternative. PLUS, GFWL is completely closed-source and locked down, so the community can't even fix the issue.
I love Windows 7. I always have and always will. But I detest M$ with a passion.
M$ tries to turn everything into a new source of revenue... even things that shouldn't be. And it'll do that with Minecraft too... and will ruin it.
M$ needs to go completely the other direction. Instead of locking everything down and trying to keep hold of everything, they need to be more open and
less controlling. They should release Windows for free.... and make it open-source. Imagine the boom in Windows users then! The custom versions! The properly repaired bugs from community devs who actually care about the software! The decades-old problems that Windows has always suffered being fixed! How exciting that day would be.
The simple fact is that M$ is too big. One day it will crumble under its own weight.
