My sister used to work for M$ in Redmond and her husband still does. She lost like $3 million in one week a few years back when the stock took a dump. I would guess that maybe she is finally getting it back!
I plan to do the "unification" myself by getting a windows phone when the Lumia 929 comes to Verizon in the next 30 days.
It is near the end of the end....
