Microsoft Buying Wunderlist

http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-confirms-its-acquisition-of-wunderlist

It always makes me a bit nervous when one of the Online Services That Help Me Keep Life Straight gets gobbled up, excuse me, “acquired”, by one of the large tech behemoths. How much will the experience change, what features will be removed to accommodate the new integration into the company’s existing products, what new features will be added? Obviously, everyone is saying the right things as of now, and the Wunderlist team is remaining in place, but given what’s happened with some other popular apps, you’ll excuse me if I have some reservations.

If you haven’t tried Wunderlist,and you’re a list maker, you should definitely do so, even if it is a Microsoft tool now.

What favorite apps of yours have been acquired? Has it been a good or a bad thing?
