"Though attractive, it's hard to imagine anyone buying the whole WRS and keep everything. If anyone, Motorola is probably the only guy who can keep everything, but we don't want Motorola to buy us, do we?" No, we don't! About a year ago, right after TSD came on board, I seem to remember a provision for rights to be issued to stockholders, to be able to purchase shares at a 15% discount should a takeover be attempted. Anybody know the status of this initiative . . ?

About MOT,etc. the 'big boys' who use WRS software and brand recognition-- I guess I'd now be the "littlest boy" who uses WRS software. Engineer at Earthlink suggested I needed to upgrade my Earthlink DSL WinPoET software. So after downloading and installing this software, I have what looks to be a Wind River icon on my screen. And whenever I connect to my DSL line by clicking on this or just booting my system (the login screen pops up as soon as desktop appears), I see Wind River and what might be a Wind River picture (logo) prominently mentioned. Basically, I consider myself a value investor. But I'm going to hate myself if I see WIND stock rise to its previous levels, and I never bought any at this point or never at least looked at/learned something about the company (which is why I'm over here) and I have to get reminded of a missed opportunity every time I turn on my computer.
