Digital would most likely be spun off to Microsoft who wants to enter the IIOT space. A partnership with GED would allow them to stay engaged with the industrial assets. Plus - Predix does not require GE devices - so makes even more sense.

and then Microsoft stock price will collapse :))
Not true - please don't give false hope. Microsoft would not be interested in the GED assets - or the headcount. Microsoft is doing just fine on its own and with its ecosystem of partners - we are one of them!
I don't know where this rumor came from but at best is someones hope. No way would MS even want GED
This seems highly unlikely. I can't imagine Microsoft wants to get into the digital industrial business. And if they did, they have so much more experience in digital. Why would they purchase GED? For the market share?
I have only heard this as a rumor which senior GED leadership has debunked.
