Microsoft wants to buy out Minecraft

If I was Notch I would totally jump at the opportunity, but I can't imagine why MS would want to buy a company that's essentially a one hit wonder.

Intellectual Property rights? maybe they want to mine all the minecraft paraphernalia for what its worth?
Somehow I can't see Notch doing this, seems like a smart guy.. although if microsoft is just the production company it might not be that bad , look at dust an elysian tail, it was published by Microsoft Studios


edit:
guess we will find out tomorrow then:

Finally, now MyGaming can post an article about it. Not that rumour rubbish last week.

*I have a hatred for rumours*
 
Lets hope they Keep the current Dev team working on this , or maybe it will be good to get new input i'm going to be watching minecraft closely over the next few months ,maybe this will be a good thing.

on a side note: Notches response really blew me away, I feel for the guy, the internet such an amazing and terrible place.
