You can never say the IT industry is boring, and with the recent high levels of M&A activity, industry watchers have had their work cut out for them just trying to keep up, let alone analyse what the latest deals mean. This hasn’t stopped a bunch of people trying to imagine what the next few rounds of mergers could mean, and some of them just might happen. I recall a Business 2.0 article (sub required) on this topic a couple of years ago, and one of their predictions – that of Yahoo! buying Overture – happened barely as the magazine hit the shelves. As they say, be careful about what you imagine - it may just happen.
