Oh man this has been talked about and debated a lot. Not so much here but if you look elsewhere there's a huge content on it. Still we can have some sane discussions on it again.
I for one don't support this deal. As it is, we are already starting to see people break up in two groups over this deal and fighting against each other. In the long term the one to be affected will be the Open Source community. And with the past record of MS, of backstabing their partners, I don't trust them at all.

Agree with You tech bhai.Open Source will get killed if MS gets into this.
