Microsoft invests in Android. The software giant has reportedly plans to become a minority investor in cyan, known for his special version of Android, according to the Wall Street Journal. No company says the deal, of course, and we still do not know how long Microsoft's investment may be. Bloomberg reports that the two companies are in talks to create a version of the image cyanogen that offers services Microsoft (similar to, Nokia did with its X-Series that Microsoft killed).
Although this branch of Android, is already more than 50 million people using cyanide. This number could increase significantly as it gets even easier to install (already offering desktop and mobile applications company, to simplify the process).

If Cyanogen will do partnering with Microsoft, i'm certainly not gonna be using that ROM.
All in All, CyanogenMod is modifying an OS done by Google, that's basically stabbing them in the back.
and having Microsoft stuff their own services, then I honestly don't see the difference here!

Microsoft is always late to invest to try to get market back, this is just another one of those attempts in my opinion that will most likely bury Cyanogen, or at least just be a waste of money for MS.

I have a hard time understanding this. CM has laid an incredible groundwork for the ROM community, but nothing they've done recently gives me confidence in them as a company.
