What does the fast purchase mean for the SharePoint seach product vendors?
Yes, I am one of them.

I guess I was right. http://sharepointsearch.com/cs/blogs/notorioustech/archive/2007/07/19/fast-search-integration-announcement-could-be-interesting.aspx
Until the full nature of the future integration of SharePoint and Fast are announced we will all be just guessing.
One guess (from a vendor) is that it will become the basis for Office 14, but who knows.
One thing is sure, Microsoft was missing conceptual/semantic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_semantic_analysis) search capabilities and now they have it.
Stay tuned.
