MS didn't stop Skype from being available on other platforms when they purchased it, so I doubt MS will do this kind of move with Minecraft. That would just be counter productive after spending $2 Billion to acquire it and I'm pretty sure MS wants to ride the Minecraft money more than anything Mojang can provide them in the future.

It depends on who is making the purchase, MS, the computer company/OS maker, or their Xbox division. Presumably the Xbox division needs high up authority from the board to make a purchase like this and with so many on the board disliking the Xbox division, it's unlikely to come from them. It may be a MS in general purchase and they want it for brand and potential, meaning it is unlikely that they will remove potential profits just to get a leg over competition in a market many of the board don't even want to be in.

It probably is an MS general purchase. No way the Xbox division can make a purchase on their own and yes, that's what I also said~
