    They are not going to move everything to windows platforms.
    Keep this in mind, by buying mojang (minecraft really), microsoft now owns the PE, the PS editions, and the xbox editions. They said in an article that I read that they would not pull the PS3/4 editions of mien craft from the PS store (keep in mind as well PS is there big gaming competitor). Going by this logic, minecraft would still be available for Apple devices (and not windows exclusive. Come on, the PE has been in the top 10 AT LEAST on the top payed charts for months). So I think it would be safe to say that they will keep the Mac/Linux versions of the game. This is going by logic. If the PS versions where removed, then we are in for trouble.

    Let me find the article.

    Like it say in the link I sent you.

    "The vast majority of that article is fluff, it really boils down to one sentence

    Microsoft corp. is in serious discussions to buy Mojang AB ... According to a person with knowledge on the matter."

    And the Bloomberg article:
    "Microsoft is nearing a deal to buy Mojang AB, makers of the Minecraft video game franchise, according to a new report. According to the Wall Street Journal, the deal would value Mojang at more than $2 billion and could be signed as soon as this week"

    To me this is just a big game of telephone.

    That's what was said at the beginning.
    Either way, if this happened, then Microsoft would probably screw Minecraft up. And like thousands that still play, I'd leave.

    I don't understand what you mean by "That's what was said at the beginning"
    I just don't think we should go belly up until Mojang says publicly "We are selling Mojang".

    It doesn't seem like they're denying it though.
    That's what concerns me.

    If this actually happeneds 4 things will happen.
    1. I'd make an outro
    2. I'd uninstall Minecraft
    3. I'd cri evr tim
    4. And then finally I would get a life.
