this does not look like an IP buy for MS, it looks like a human capitol buy. It's one thing to have a product, a business and be allowed the freedom to innovate. Its another thing to be brought in and fix someone-else's problem. Its my guess that MS wanted Xobni to re-vitalize outlook rather than advance their product.
