RE: WIND and the Automotive Market - John, you jarred my memory a bit with that as I dimly recalled that a few years back, WIND had made an equity investment in a European automotive software company ... and then when I tried to find mention of that in my collection of olde WIND annual reports - I did not find what I was looking for. So, I have just put some time in 'refreshing' what I had thought I remembered... --alan June 15, 1998 - "Wind Acquires New Automotive RT Kernal Technology" windriver.com The press release does not indicate the extent of WIND's equity investment. However, 3Soft GmbH certainly appears to be a growing concern. 3soft.de > About 3SOFT > Founded in 1988, 3SOFT has established itself as a leading software company in > the embedded software development market.
