IBM to buy Micromuse (yawn)

Well, IBM is on the announcement trail. Yesterday they announced buying Bowstreet and today it's Micromuse for about $865M in cash.

San Francisco-based Micromuse develops network management software used by banks, telecommunications carriers, government and retailers to monitor network activity.

The acquisition will help boost Tivoli's offering for the exceedingly dull market for network management systems. Oh well, IBM gets to add to their software portfolio and we all get to yawn. Happy Xmas IMB, zzzzzzzzzzzzzz... Oh and one day but someone exciting please...zzzzzzzzz.
