Wind River profits down, but Linux bookings soar

,----[ Quote ]
| Wind River's 4Q 2008 earnings results showed expected revenue growth to $84.3 
| million and a net loss of $2 million. However, Linux bookings were up 66 
| percent, with Linux expected to deliver $150 million in revenue for fiscal 
| 2009, about 41 percent of the company's projected $365 million total.   
| 
| [...]
| 
| In his earnings presentation, Klein explained the annual net loss as the 
| result of increased investment in new areas such as mobile phones and 
| automotive infotainment, which are only beginning to bring in the kind of 
| revenues Wind River expects to emerge in the coming year. CFO Ian Halifax, 
| meanwhile, announced expectations "to exit Q4 2009 with operating margins in 
| excess of 15 percent of revenues."
