Bom, isso todos estavam sabendo mesmo, e est� no artigo em:
" The IBM deal was announced on Friday and since then Rational's shares have traded at a slight discount to that $10.50 per share, which is a typical trading pattern before a takeover closes."
" Two arbitrage traders said that there had been speculation that Microsoft, which had been rumored to be interested in buying Rational before IBM closed the deal, would step back into the race. "

BORLAND PLUGS THE MICROSOFT GAP?
Borland Chief Executive Dale Fuller declined to comment on whether any deal with Microsoft was in the cards, but he added that he would consider offers.
"I'm a public company, I always have to entertain all offers from all companies," Fuller told Reuters. "I will tell you we have a very close relationship with Microsoft."
Borland, like Rational, offers so-called "modeling" tools which let software developers collaborate on their software programs before they actually build them. Rational was Microsoft's biggest partner in that respect, selling its Rational Rose modeling tool alongside Microsoft's own Visual Studio programming tools.
With Rational now being acquired by IBM, however, that leaves the door open for Borland to step in, Fuller said.
"There's definitely a gap in Microsoft's development strategy," he said. "It opens the doors for us to fill the gap for Microsoft's customers."
Borland, like Microsoft, also sells programming tools that allow software developers to build programs for Microsoft's .NET Internet software. But unlike Microsoft, Borland's tools allow developers to run their applications in non-Microsoft environments, such as those offered by Oracle Corp.(NasdaqNM:ORCL - News) or Sybase Inc.(NYSE:SY - News).

Segue o �ltimo boato que anda rolando pela net:
"According to a Reuters report that crossed the wires late today, the speculation is that Microsoft will make bids to buy both Rational and Borland.
Shares of both Rational and Borland are up on the news, and so far both IBM and Microsoft have no comment on this report."
