"preferably the kind of updates only possible with a tech giant behind you"

What kinds of these? Its never been the case that 25% more engineers means 25% more progress and github is a mature product made by a company that already employees a signifiant staff.

The logical thing would be not to piss off the existing users and use github to add value to existing Microsoft properties. So some new integration with Microsoft things?

Expanding the Github Education package, integrating Github offerings with the Spark program, applying Bing search expertise to Github code search, creating a more flexible pricing model for hobbyist users, expanding their free offering, creating better Desktop/mobile applications for Github services (better the the open source ones currently available at least).
