I don't think they will, but to add a couple things about buy out and company control:
Even if MS didn't have the cash, they can buy on credit, like Gamestop bought EB with credit.
Even if they could only get their hands on 30 or 40% of S-E, that would still basically put them in control. They would have to negotiate board members, but they could basically keep out anyone they didn't want.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
