Is this good for healthcare.  Let's see.

1. The number of vendors I have to deal with is one less.
2. Nuance has the money to develop clinical vocabularies quicker.
3. Microsoft adds a power set of capabilities to it's cloud offerings
4. Both are already good partners in healthcare and understand the business.

Only downside I can come up with is that the annual Microsoft Licensing costs are going up.  

Perhaps I'm not seeing the whole picture, but I really like what I am seeing.

What is your take?
