Minecraft is now part of Microsoft

News flash: Mojang, parent company of Minecraft, has been sold to Microsoft for $2.5 billion.  Take a deep breath. Yes, it's official.

Not completely sure how I feel about this. Even though I've made a living in IT using and managing Micro$oft products, they're still the necessary evil. Now something as cool, open and free as Minecraft is part of that evil empire.
