I'm not one to praise Microsoft without reason - I've worked the last 2 decades with their tech.

However, I don't see this as a negative thing. Provided they don't trash it like most of their acquisitions - and bear in mind they sort of depend on github themselves.

I feel this will prevent github from going like sourceforge now that someone with deep pockets can support it.

They have a lot of PR to lose if they screw this one up. Generally, migration is a only few git commands away.
