Lots of obvious astroturfing going on regarding this. I've seen this news everywhere from Slashdot to Reddit with people sucking Microsofts dick. It's either that, or people are too young to remember the bullshit Microsoft pulled ... since forever basically. People aren't going to benefit from this merger. Microsoft is patient. Embrace, extend, extinguish is their strategy. 10 year agreements are nothing for them to wait out.

And it's the same with every merger -- "This will bring more competition, blah blah blah", then merger goes through and half the people are fired, half the rest are rolled into existing systems, and some empty shell of the previous company just wanders along with no real spirit any longer.

Remember Embrace Extend Extinguish, R.E.E.E for short.
