Ask HN: What Is Your Opinion of the Georgia Tech OMS CS?

I am considering Georgia Tech's Online Masters in Computer Science. I currently have a bachelor's degree in Economics but have been working in IT for the past year since graduation. I think it might be cool to work in academia towards the end of my career and know that a PHD would be necessary. Would the OMS CS help get toward that goal? Is anyone reading this currently enrolled and want to share their experience?
