I cannot resist chipping in here but i honestly cannot think of ONE 
thing thati mproved following a microsoft acquisition, 
truespace(acquired in 2008 or thereaboiuts) abandoned. no longer 
supported despite it being well regarded by many. oh and look what 
happenned to the "partnership" between Microsoft and Nokia!! MS has had( 
and probably still has a habit of) acquirng( or attempting to acquire) 
any company or entitiy that it sees as a potential threat, then grinds 
that company or entity to the ground.
end of rant. ;-)
