"brilliant" I think "predictable" is more apt.

  It makes perfect sense for Satya, Sam, and Greg, but I doubt many of us thought deeply enough to have predicted it in advance.

  link to your prediction?

    I mean there weren't a lot of options.

      Yes but I didn't see this one discussed at all. Did you? Curious to see those threads if you have links. I might have just missed them.

  I've read a decent amount of predictions about this and had not actually seen this one or considered it until I read about it happening. I think the predictable thing would have been a new company with new investment from Microsoft. But this is better; it a bit like magical thinking that MS would want to just throw more money after a new venture and essentially write off the old one. This solution accomplished similar things, but gives more to Microsoft in the trade by bringing that "new company" fully in house.
