And how is it valueted then??? Show us how you get to a 2.5B value and return?

Mojang is valued that high because of the 50+ million mojang accounts it has.. turn/hook those into outlook accounts and you have 50+ million extra people into your ecosystem.. to have that incredible big community hooked into MS's ecosystem is worth 2.5B.. especially the amount of young players it has.. even from those 50 million if like 5 million young kids would get a MS account.. thats like 20 million dollar alone on viewable ads in outlook per year.. and thats only from ads in outlook..thats not even counting if they actually click on an ad..  say they buy office 360 later on cause they had good experience with MS because of Minecraft.. personal data and getting people into your ecosystem is an incredibly huge thing right now..

Google earns on average 4 buck per gmail account per year on displaying ad words.. they have 400 million gmail accounts.. and thats not even counting the data selling stuff or when people actually click on the ads.. you can do the math.. surely there will be overlap in the 50 million but to have the chance to have say like add 20~30 million users for 2.5 billion with the potential to have long term relationship with the user.. good deal

So for the e-mail account you are estimating U$50,00 worth for each account if 100% gone and done a acc (let's pretend none were customer and all would become), do you think each account have that much value even with ad revenue?

On the Office buying because liked Minecraft?? That would be quite the leap, but at least you put some plan on recovering the investiment =]
