no, it would be nice, but Fair Isaac isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

the credit bureaus just want a piece of the pie since Fair Isaac has pretty much cornered the market on making money off of credit scoring. they figure if they get together, it will at least leave only two sources for the score (with slight variations therein) and maybe they can get more lenders to contract with them instead of FI.

I haven't read as much about the vantagescore as I should have, do they intend to use the same scale -- topping at 850? I would imagine not since you would think they'd want to differentiate themselves, create that "gotta have both!" mentality.
