I'm not saying it will work, just that it fits with where they might like to go.</p>
<p>As for SL, why? Look at the lawsuit they just threw onto Moto. Let's hope LL does not sell to these people.</p>Little Lost Linden commented on 'PaidContent: Microsoft Secretly Bought 3D Web World Vivaty Recently (Is <i>This</i> the Source of the Rumors?)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef013487eb7c23970c2010-10-02T16:11:42Z2010-10-02T16:11:42ZLittle Lost Lindenhttp://profile.typepad.com/thebotzoneThis article makes me wonder if Microsoft will purchase Planet Michael.<p><br />

<p>"Microsoft isn’t commenting on the Linden Lab report, but I’ve been asking around and hear from my sources that Microsoft may have made overtures not only toward Linden Lab, but other social-gaming vendors lately. The word from my sources is the Softies are not simply talking partnerships; they’re talking outright purchase."</p>

<p>However I find it interesting that it took so long for MS to buy anything like this and use it as a base for their own development. They might have spend the time watching SL and since it has not grown as large as many people in LL most likely hoped at the start they now decided that the time is right to grab their share of the market.</p>
