Mojang has been purchased by microsoft

Am I the only person who is actually happy about this deal?
Microsoft are capable of running 24/7 stable servers, unlike Mojang.
Microsoft have real coding and art talent.
Notch hasn't done anything for Minecraft development since 1.0.0, save attending Minecons.
Mojang have developed one decent game, and I really stress the word "decent". Minecraft has an intelligent concept and a decent execution (And probably deserves most of its success). However, Mojang is really a 1 hit wonder, not some well respected studio with history.
My only concern is that Microsoft will ask Mojang to prioritise Xbox 1, but I strongly doubt that will happen. Possibly they will not release new updates for the PS3/4, but I don't think that affects any of us.
Maybe Microsoft will actually fulfil Mojang's potential.

Most people are concerned regardless of the positives because Microsoft has quite a bit of experience with running video game companies to the ground.
