Karen,

I appreciate your tech knowledge of INPR. The reason the stock is not performing is that the current CEO is not prioritizing the stock price. The float (shares outstanding minus shares held by management) has doubled in the last month, thus diluting the value of the company and the earnings per share. When a company thinks of its stock as a printing press for the top executives, the share price suffers. Contrast this with MSFT, where all the stock options given to the top execs is repurchased in the open market so that the float has remained the same for all these years. Yocam has just announced a stock repurchase plan, and that may definitely help. But it may take some time for investors to believe that Del is really serious about the stock and the shareholder.
