Actually, it's supposed to be pronounced "pah-choo", so your way of spelling doesn't make any difference.

My opinion:

1. If you're referring to buying the "company" - that is, hiring Patchou - I think he'll want that (knowing that he likes Microsoft's work).
I have considered this possibility myself before - wouldn't it be cool if MP had Microsoft's full support? However, if MP is owned, Microsoft could also limit the product development by making demands that Patchou (and the users) would not agree with, so there's always a downside.

2. If you're talking about buying just the product itself and all rights for it, I don't think Patchou would agree (well, unless they pay him a lot, I guess).
