Microsoft is buying Mojang

Its likely. But it might not happen if Microsoft makes bad changes to the game.

I've been playing on computers since Windows 3.11. I've seen MS buy many many companies over the years and although they may not have "ruined" the software they acquired, they did change every last thing about them over time. Some stuff, they just did away with because of the competition while using parts of the trashed software in their own.
Trust me, they didn't pay 2.5 billion for Minecraft with the hopes of making it back with Minecraft. That paid that much for the game engine technology to use in other games. It will be a family of games that make the money back for them using Mojang's game engine.
Don't forget, they didn't just buy Minecraft. They bought Mojang and all of their games.

Hey chip, I learned how to run computers on an Atari 800. I think I might have you beat :)

What happens if Microsoft makes a very bad change to the game in the future and no one likes it and it add bad things. Will we still have to update famcraft or can we stay at the update we think would be best?

We'd be able to stay on the version that suits everyone best, if that were to happen. But like I said, given the amount of resources that are involved, I don't think that will be an issue.
