RNWK » Topics » Our traditional system software licensing business has been negatively impacted by the effects of our competitors, and our settlement agreement with Microsoft may not improve sales of our system software products.These excerpts taken from the RNWK 10-K filed Mar 2, 2009. Our
traditional system software licensing business has been
negatively impacted by competitive factors, and we may not
experience improved sales of our system software
products.
We believe that our traditional system software sales have been
negatively impacted primarily by the competitive effects of
Microsoft, which markets and often bundles its competing
technology with its market leading operating systems and server
software. Although the settlement agreement we entered into with
Microsoft relating to our claims regarding Microsoft’s
anticompetitive practices contained substantial cash payments to
us and a series of technology agreements, Microsoft will
continue to be an aggressive competitor with our traditional
systems software business. We cannot be sure whether the
portions of the settlement agreement designed to limit
Microsoft’s ability to leverage its market power will be
effective, and we cannot predict when, or if, we will experience
increased demand for our system software products in a way that
improves our operating results or shareholder return on an
investment in our stock.
