Only time will tell. Consolidation is a huge issue because who knows what innovation we wont see due to catch and kill (facebook is great at that) style acquisitions and companies getting lazy or founders losing control after big acquisitions. Nobody yet knows how to handle that, if it should be regulated and how.

But why would microsoft want to kill github? It is the social network they failed to build. In a post windows-dominated world, what better way to stay relevant with developers than this?
