Watchfire and SPI Sold - What Will Happen to the Others?

With Watchfire sold to IBM and now SPI Dynamics sold to HP on Monday I wonder what will happen to the source code scanning market. I am sure IBM would like a code scanning tool to embed into Eclipse / Websphere and surely MSFT will integrate something more than FX Cop eventually. Will we see a summer of consolidation in the application security space?

    Eclipse - PMD, FindBugs, jlint, Java PathFinder, EMMA, jCUTE
    Microsoft - uses FxCop, AppVerif, PreSharp, PeX, and FuzzGuru internally - packaged as their own TFS

    Although I’m sure FortifySoftware, Cigital, OunceLabs, and Grammatech + the big boys are talking about M&A’s
