Yeah I got it from an Australian magazine called "Hyper" as well as on Ms xbox web site.

Ill let you know as soon as possible when I have found a link.

Aaron Ni:
It doesnt seem likely that Rare and Nintendo would split, even if MS offered a large cash amount.  Besides, that'd mean the sequel to Conker's Bad Fur Day on the X Box!

I'd never buy it just to play the sequel!

ravuya:
Microsoft is not buying Rare. They're just scooping up a few developers from there (Ken Lobb, as well as some others).

So Rare will continue to develop for a platform with a 128-bit CPU instead of a 32-bit one.

Ken Lobb was a production manager for nintendo who gave a lot of support to rare.  Rare will never be bought, but they will support multiple consoles I think.  They're too big to be owned by anyone and too egotistical now to work exclusive to any one console.  That said I don't think they'll EVER abandon nintendo.  They'll always make good games but they won't be exclusive anymore.
