What about this question?:

What other operating systems besides MS CE pose the greatest threat to WIND and what is WIND doing to hold its share of the market?

(I still am very confused about all the different OS's out there, so I'd like some clarification on this. I know MS CE has a much bigger "footprint", but it also has much bigger "muscle". Bill Gates always manages to get a foothold in any growing market, so I'd expect MS to be a presence in the embedded market.)

>>2. How did the Liberate IPO effect WIND's bottom line?<<

Does anyone know if WIND would have been allowed to sell part or all of the LBRT position after the IPO?

WIND executives have been pretty astute about selling their own stock when it peaks. They probably could have made a 100% profit on LBRT. If so, perhaps this one-time windfall would help them make the quarter?
