Hopefully they will continue to keep these interfaces "open", and publish documentation along the same lines as say FaceBook API, or GoogleMaps API. The developer in me is getting hungry...

It has been adopted by Hyperion (EssBase), now Oracle. Oracle did not like XMLA (and MDX) before, because it was Microsoft's... IBM uses a variant of EssBase in their DB OLAP. BO did not use adopt XMLA but now it is with SAP and SAP had adopted XMLA. SAS has also adopted it, who is left? A little moral victory here for Microsoft with their XMLA?

Seeing that Teradata was just recently was spun-off from NCR, I doubt we'll see an acquisition of Teradata in the short-term. More likely MicroStrategy could be a target and judging by it's price, others seem to be thinking the same thing. The future of BI will be interesting to watch as concepts around data-as-a-service, SOA and the semantic web evolve. It should be interesting to watch this unfold.
