I do hope this works out for AC and for us users of it. AC has definitely been going through growing pains, especially with the demands of meaningless use and before that chitt-certification, in addition to responding to requests for improvement from the user base (Like V7).
Indy stole much of my opinion up there. AC may well be put under pressure to provide "X" dollars per quarter to its new parent. If it doesn't make it, bad things will occur. But bad things can occur from it trying to make those numbers. There may be additional price increases.
There are potential windfalls also, for it the new parent can help provide AC resources so that it can make its improvements that much faster, it will be a boon to us all.
