They have an impressive array of products, but do they simply complement the V3 offerings or do they bring large scale additions to the current abilities? I am not proficient in comparing these technologies to make that determination.

Just throwing out a statement aimed at all potential candidates, I wonder if size (employees, administrative footprint) is a major factor since I would expect we would like as robust a lineup of products as possible but keep the admin expense increases as low as possible. OVRL has many employees I guess due to mfg needs but a lot of these new potential companies are mainly software so I hope they are pretty small in size in regards to employees.

How about Bit Torrent?

I wonder if they might try to acquire Bromium. Virtualized security that seemingly would integrate well. Similar microvisor approach. From Simon Bramfitt's article:

"Glassware was not designed for security; instead, it was designed for performance, with its microvisor controlling access
to the underlying Windows Server OS."

Bromium would give them new generation security. There is a lot of V.C. money behind Bromium. The V.C.s might be in it for the sell and might like a piece of Sphere in exchange. Just a thought as long as we are speculating about possible acquisitions.
