Interesting move on Microsoft's part. They have no plans to acquire nVidia in the immediate future, but since Windows 8 is launching on ARM, I'm going to assume that Microsoft is very interested in nVidia's Tegra ARM technology. Additionally, this prevents Apple, who has had its eye on nVidia for some time, from placing a bid. nVidia is definitely a prize. They're one of only two big players in the graphics processing industry (the other being AMD, which acquired ATi Technologies about 6 years ago) and their mobile technology is already gaining a lot of traction.
I'm not sure if this move will eventually lead to an acquisition, but if it does, this would be a blockbuster deal. Thoughts?
That's an interesting move on Microsoft's behalf, I've never seen a strategical pre-takeover move like that before. I don't know if we'll see any takeover in the short term, but that would be a pretty massive deal. I've long thought that nVidia was overlooked by the market and should trade better than they do... they are very much what Qualcomm is to the mobile market in the laptop/desktop space (granted, the PC market is horrific).
I'm sure it wouldn't be a huge blow to Apple though, they are minting PLENTY of money outside of their computer/laptop business and could easily make a play for another smaller provider if they really needed it
