Im surely not any kind of expert on watercooling, hell Im still building my first watercooled computer but of course I have a couple of cents to throw in the pot.

The expanding possibility of watercooling in future.

Expanding to what? If anything new materials for air cooled heatsinks, thermal pastes, etc coupled with processors that run cooler and more efficient will probably keep air cooling as the mainstream. There is just a small demand for watercooling IMHO, most people dont even know what temp their CPU is running at let alone care about it.

The possibility of box watercooling sold with processors

Never. If you mean bundling a watercooling kit with the CPU by the manufacturer. I mean look first at the cost, then the nightmare of forgetting to include some part needed for installation, liability for damage to other components in the system when the thing leaks all over Joe Blow's new graphics card etc etc and so on. Its one thing to give it as an option, entirely different to have it as the norm.

The possibility of watercooling in bigger companies

Bigger companies such as? Again, this is just an opinion, based purely on observation, speculation and common sense. First you have companies that produce watercooling for the "Masses", usually low quality, rough machined flashy blue and red galvanic reactors. T-Take comes to mind among many others. Then you have companies who make quality products but have to balance cost with demand. Joe Blow might not care that this is the best block on the market, designed with years of R&D and input from the community. I think its pretty much the same as what the Air-Cooling industry went/goes through. In the past few years IMHO there was only a couple of decent HS manufacturers, Swiftech and Thermalright, yet T-take was Im sure (guess) selling more than both of them put together, why? Mass produced, low quality, but flashy (ugly IMO)= money.
Sure...bigger companies might jump on the bandwagon, but you get what you pay for.
