This will be interesting!
I'm a huge fan of Minecraft. My kids got me started and since it's cheaper than a set of Lego I took to it like a kid in a candy store.
In a way I'm a bit disappointed in Notch for bailing, but at the same time I can understand, Minecraft is HUGE!
Fortunately, from what I've read so far, Microsoft isn't wanting to change the actual game or it's community. But there are some interesting things that it could do with it.
First, from what I understand, Notch didn't want to do a WinPhone port due to the small user base, so that will probably be one of the first area's that MS concentrates on, and this will be good because it will translate into a port for Windows 8 RT meaning an even larger base. But at the same time, due to the underlying structure and coding language behind WinPhone and RT a full recode of Minecraft may be necessary, migrating it away from the memory hog that Java is.
If there is a move away from Java and into another language we may see an improvement in memory resources and a smoother experience on older slower machines.
Lastly, MICROSOFT BETTER NOT RUIN THIS AWESOME GAME!!!
