Microsoft buying Powerset?

...Rumor has it, that Powerset is being bought by MSFT... that can only mean they are trying to go semantic in their search quest... hopefully the great technical and semantic momentum with Powerset will carry on.

...Powerset is written in all OpenSource -- Ruby, Merb, Rails, god, Mongrel, Mootools, Memcache, Erlang, Fuzed*, YAWS, Hadoop... one of their developers is Kevin Clark, active Ruby/Rails developer: http://glu.ttono.us/articles/2008/05/12/holy-god-powerset-launches

Interesting to see how this plays out.
