What I'm most worried about is what will happen to the Mac/Linux versions of the game in the future. I don't see them wanting to put alot of work into supporting a competing platform.
I'm hopeful that support for other platforms will continue. Microsoft has released versions of Office for Mac, iOS, and Android. Their Band product is also supported on all major phones. Based on prior evidence there is reason to hope!
This is my concern as well. I only use Linux, and hate using Wine. So if support for Linux goes down the drain, I'll just have to stick to older releases.
I think Microsoft will keep support going for all platforms. They are starting to cross platform with Android with Cortana, so I don't see them hoarding Minecraft for their own systems anytime.
I'm a little less worried about this than I would have been in the past. MS has at least made some attempts at being more open about their products than they have been previously.
I have to admit,their holo version is impressive.
I can't tell it has changed. Being a Linux user,I was afraid they would screw us over, but nope.
