Of course, in this day and age - ANYTHING is at least a potential acquisition target - especially for Microsoft (with a market cap of half a trillion dollars!!!). However, the interesting thing about VERT is that they're going after a bunch of little niches that nobody else really cares about - i.e. how many Internet companies are targeting the Water Treatment Engineering market as a hot opportunity. In fact, taken individually, any one of VERT's target markets is rather ho-hum. However, as a collective, it could represent a significant opportunity - which of course, is what VERT is banking on. The point is, that VERT can just cruise along under the radar and build a huge business in a bunch of niche markets where they face little, if any, direct competition.
