At this rate Microsoft will eventually own the internet as a whole 
I only see this as a change for the worse, as it is just adding to Microsoft's monopoly over the internet and computer technology. My guess is that if this goes through, we can expect increased selling fees and stricter guidelines on what can and can't be sold on ebay than those already in place.

I don't believe it's either, although MS may improve on support.

WOW, good news for Microsoft then, if they do buy them.
Everything will end up better I think.

I hope they won't sell it. I fucking hate Microsoft.
Google and Microsoft will know everything about us in a few years time if they don't already do.

I'd rather see Google splurge and try to buy the internet, I trust Google more than Microsoft.
Not that it'd be possible to obtain the entire internet, but if I had to choose, I'd vote Google all the way. At least they fought to keep their search cache private so the Gov't couldn't access it and arrest "terrorists" If Microsoft was in that position, they'd give up our personal info in a second with a smile for a couple tax breaks.
