GOG's fiscal year is exactly the same as calendar. So it is pretty simple, Q1 ends with march 2010.
And you guys are completely right, saying that three BIG announcements don’t necessarily mean 3 big publishers;)

I'd put my money on Atari. They published a lot of Bioware's RPGs on the PC (including the disaster that was NWN1).
The only evidence against the Activision-Blizzard opinion is that (especially for you Blizzard fans) they already enjoy $20 and $40 retail packages of their Battlechests (D2:LoD, SC1, WC3, WoW), so a move to $10 on digital distribution would be a shot to the lung. I'd really like to see Sierra, though I dont know who owns them now.
Interplay, as far as I know, published I think all of the major D&D-based RPGs from Black Isle (Baldur's Gate, Icewind, Fallout/FO2 (though not D&D) , and Planescape), and we already have FO/FO2 in the catalogue.
EA would be nice, but I dont think they're nice enough to sign with GOG. They own the rights to Westwood's Command & Conquer series, and also published American McGee's Alice.

Activision owns part of Sierra, but a lot of the IPs were scattered all over the landscape when the Sierra 'label' was killed off.
