Looking into one potential influence on the software business future, I searched for the word "software" in the Economic Stimulus Package bill passed earlier this year. There are 3 sections that use the word software: Broadband, Health IT, and a tax section which rules that students can draw down 529 funds to buy software products related to education - even computer games.  I cover more details about the first two and their impact on software companies for both software business operations and software M&A at http://www.corumgroup.com/EconomicStimulusPackage.aspx
