I am very excited to announce that Microsoft is acquiring GitHub and expect the agreement to close by the end of the year. While it will still take a few months to finalize, we wanted to share the news as soon as we were able.

Very telling article and MS is out to have 57 million smart people to choose from. And they own LinkedIn.
