Everybody positioned in Leaders Quadrant for Business Intelligence

Is the recent BI M&A activity rendering this Gartner report meaningless?

Microsoft's rating upgrade is unfortunately overshadowed by their being too cheap to license a copy of the report. You have to go back to the old guard for this (thank you Cognos):

Mea culpa, MS did actually dip into its wallet but didn't refer to the report location in their press release.
