My first guess - a price increase of some sort will happen. It might be a simple price change or a change in their pricing structure. Thought could mean the end of leased licenses, or the introduction of a lifetime license (where you dont have to pay annual fees). It could also mean the end of owned licenses since they dont generate as much cash long term as leased licenses. Something will likely happen to produce a large influx of cash quickly.

Why do I say this? Many companies do this upon aquisition to pay for the cost of the aquisition. Its very common.

I would also predict that we will see more official vB add ons. A photo gallery for example, or a homepage portal. This would be another way to raise money quickly.
