Microsoft's move to announce quite a few layoffs (over the next year or so) might lead some to believe it's actions are motivated by its interest in buying VPLM I think that this is perhaps a bit of wishful thinking.

No deal has been agreed upon and we don't even know who the party that submitted a written offer is. Could it be Microsoft? Yeah, it could. But it could also be any one of a hundred other companies too. We just don't know.

I also do not think that a company like Microsoft that has a little under $85 billion in cash as of 4/2014 according to Forbes (http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2014/04/13/fun-number-apple-has-twice-as-much-cash-as-the-us-government/) would need to free up any additional cash to buy VPLM. I think a paltry sum of say...$18 Billion would be all they would need!
