Yow!  Just got a bit of a knot in my stomach.  Needless to say, I, like a lot of other folks, are pretty heavily invested in Kontakt.  I read the article that Satya posted and it looks to me like Kontakt will be sold.  Hopefully that will be to someone who wants to invest in and continue its existence.  Peter, we need you to weigh-in and tell us what all this means!!!

Well, I think you and I were posting at similar times. I would expect that Kontakt is their most valuable product and if NI doesn’t continue to own it, they would sell it off to another company. In either case, it’s too valuable of an asset for it to go away, so I wouldn’t be too worried about Kontakt disappearing. I think what’s more likely is that recent acquisitions that aren’t essential to the core business are the ones that will likely be sold off to raise cash.
