If Informix were taken over (which I seriously doubt), I would love to see IBM as the buyer. Although IBM would have to figure-out the DB2-IFMX product conflicts, it would do wonders for both companies: -- Informix and IBM know how to serve large customer accounts. The acquisition would nicely complement IBM's stellar customer roster. -- IBM would instantly buy strong partnerships with all of the ERP vendors (sans Oracle, of course) -- IBM's name attached to Informix's product could result in an incredible windfall of new business. Who wouldn't buy the best database technology from the most stable and respected supplier to corporate IS? The prospect of this marriage is pure fantasy, but we can always dare to dream! Closer to earth, I'm hoping for a solid Q1 that's in the black. If Informix can show revenue growth in Q1, then I expect the stock to make solid gains. It appears from an earlier post that many analysts expect mild losses in Q1.
