I love me some Minecraft, but Mojang is NOT worth that and I can't believe, even as dumb as Microsoft as a company is, they don't know that. They've already made what they were going to make by porting it to the XBox, I would think.

I've been trying to teach my son to program using it - he's still a bit young though at 7.

I think they are a little young, too. They could sure come up with IDEAS for mods, though, which I then had to try to implement.
