After reading the (then) 20 pages at the DAZ forums, one of the most frequent guesses seemed to be 'DAZ acquires Poser.'

Despite the suicide/coronary death toll that it would produce, I doubt that the 3D industry as a whole would give a coelacanth's cloaca.  Rendo might want to provision a backup T3 and a few server clusters for the Poser Forum just in case though.

Unless they've discovered alien technology, I don't see them coming up with something that will change the way the exisitng 3D industry works - especially given that they can't really change even this little corner of it. In those terms, I don't think even the online creation/rendering concept we discussed in a thread some time ago would qualify either. Of course, this is assuming definitions they may not agree with.

Getting a whole new set of players into the 'game,' using some combination of existing technology might qualify so a DAZ Messiah Studio might work, assuming that it would be a platform suitable for development beyond the traditional Poser/DS realm. I think the ambition is there, but it seems a bit soon to be announcing the revolution so I'm set to be underwhelmed. All bets are off if the headline includes Microsoft, Google or Facebook.
