Matt, since you suggest that should AMAT, IBM, et al, take over CYMI they would have a MONOPOLY position in the market...I think any other explanation might be that someone like like AMAT thinks that DOJ wouldn't let the whole deal fly. If DOJ would go to the effort of stop or modify the IBM/STK oem relationship over mainframe storage(when EMC has almost 60% market share) can you imagine their reaction to a real MONOPOLY!!!

Also, Canon would never attempt to purchase such a high profile U.S. technology leader. It would immediately raise the issue of the "off limits" nature of Japanese companies to American takeover.
