Here is how a November 1997 Fortune Magazine article "10 Tech Trends to Bet On - 3. THE CONSUMERIZATION OF COMPUTING DEVICES" ended:

>Shipley calls Hewlett-Packard, which has built hand-held devices for years,
>"a sleeper that will win big." Sun Microsystems' Diba subsidiary designs
>Java-based networked gadgets. Microsoft is also a player, with software
>for set-top boxes and hand-held devices. Another winner may be
>Wind River Systems of Alameda, Cal., the top vendor of operating
>systems and programming tools for embedded processors. Sales for the
>year ended in January grew 45%, to $64 million. Even the Mars Pathfinder
>is guided by Wind River software."

Not only were HP, Sun, Microsoft and WIND mentioned in the same paragraph, but WIND received as much attention as others combined. Can we infer from this that Fortune believes WIND's fortunes equate to the combined fortunes of HP's, Sun's and Microsoft's?
