Here in DC we have a local radio broker/analyst who has been touting WIND for the past year and is still "hyper" about the stock. I will be looking at as a possible core holding, since my others are currently non-performers and probably don't have the potential that WIND has. (At least that is the "RUMINT" that I hear. Here is a story from TechWeb that has a reference to Wind River in it. Thought it might be interesting.

Navy asks PowerPC to come aboard

By David Lieberman

SAN DIEGO -- The PowerPC is the big winner in a Navy program that may represent the first major use of commercial off-the-shelf computer boards by the U.S. military in a weaponry system. The program is variously estimated to be worth $39 million over two years to $1 billion over seven years for VMEbus boards alone.

Details of the new initiative will emerge later this week when Themis Computer (Fremont, Calif.) announces its acquisition of V.I. Computer, a three-year-old engineering job shop here that could be the program's Cinderella. V.I. has nabbed a contract to supply its PowerPC 604 and 604e VMEbus single-board computers (SBC) for the first stage
of the effort. The boards run the VxWorks operating system from Wind River Systems Inc. (Emeryville, Calif.).

Navy officials declined to identify the program in which the boards will be used. However, analysts said the contract could be part of the Cooperative Engagement Capability project, the Navy's latest command-and-control system in development. According to Forecast International/DMS (Newtown, Conn.), the program is designed to improve anti-air warfare capabilities by coordinating sensors into a single, real-time picture for use in controlling weapons.
