Burton Group are justifiably pleased with the outcome of their predictions from 2005, including "On a larger scale, specialty brands such as Fischer International and RSA Security would make interesting acquisition targets for anchor brands" [RSA was bought by EMC] and "Oracle and HP may decide to round out their portfolios through acquisition. BMC acquired Calendra already this year, and Oracle could pick up OctetString." [OctetString was bought by Oracle].
It makes me wonder about the causal chain here, since the predictions themselves have influence. But, still impressive. Gunnar Peterson also has praise for Burton Group.
