Thanks to the market-shaping friends I keep, I have received (on extremely good authority) some information that I think will be of great interest to you. In the very near future, you will see several ground-breaking mergers and acquisitions in this wonderful, crazy IT world that we work in. Please keep these under your hat for now, as I'm pretty sure they are supposed to remain absolutely confidential for the time being, but, just so that I can say: "You heard it here first", here they are:
Kensington will acquire Ipswitch and re-brand as Chelsea Tractor Boys.
Apple will merge with Blackberry and re-brand as Crumble.
Blue Coat will merge with Red Hat and re-brand as Purple Haze.
Gordon Ramsay Enterprises are looking to add Sage and Juniper to the mix.
Extreme Networks, Leostream and Tumbleweed will form a major joint venture, possibly to be re-branded as Exstream Weed.
Riverbed will flow into Seagate (groan).
Computer Associates will buy the boxer shorts division of Calvin Klein, re-branding as CACK.
Adder and Brother will become one and target the lucrative adoption market.
And finally, I have heard that Expand and Palm are approaching the climax of their negotiations with Siemens.
If you happen to get wind of any more interesting developments on the grapevine, feel free to add them.
