In many respects, they're better behaved than they used to be. They're
biggest problems seem to have to do with what they're doing with Windows
(e.g. tracking what you're doing and not letting you turn it off). It's
certainly not desriable that they bought github, but it probably won't have
any obvious effects for a while. The biggest concerns probably have to do
with collecting data on users, and github was doutblessly doing that
already.
