If Microsoft keeps AMD in competition with Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs, I'm okay with it. AMD needs a large cash infusion. Competition is good
However, in the past, Microsoft when "acquiring other companies" has blundered substantially. So, based on history, Microsoft may take AMD in a whole new direction and eliminate competition with Intel and Nvidia. Hurts Microsoft bottom line (nothing new there) and hurts our bottom line too. No competition means "price shock" and future very slow updates of CPU and GPU
