                  WIND RIVER SYSTEMS ACQUIRES ROUTERWARE, INC.,
         FURTHER BROADENS PORTFOLIO OF EMBEDDED NETWORKING TECHNOLOGIES
                        FOR LEADING-EDGE INTERACT DEVICES

ALAMEDA, CA. June 30,1999 - Wind River Systems (Nasdaq:WIND), the leader in
embedded development software and services for the post-PC era, today
announced that it has completed the acquisition of RouterWare, Inc., the
leading supplier of portable networking protocol source code. The addition of
RouterWare expands Wind River's offering of high-value, integrated software
solutions for data communication and telecommunication equipment
manufacturers. With the intense competition and rapid growth of the Internet
such manufacturers demand an increasingly more complete array of pre-packaged
networking solutions to address their time to market needs.

Wind River issued an aggregate of 730,923 shares of its common stock and
reserved an additional 634,065 shares for issuance upon exercise of
outstanding employee stock options in exchange for all outstanding shares of
RouterWare common stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of employee
stock options. Based upon Wind River's June 30, 1999 closing price of
$16.0625 per share, the transaction is valued at approximately $21.9 million.
The acquisition will be accounted for as a pooling of interests. Wind River's
financial reports for the second fiscal quarter of 1999 (ending July 31) and
prior periods will reflect the effect of the acquisition. The company expects
to record a one-time charge in the second quarter to cover
acquisition-related expenses.

RouterWare products will become immediately available through Wind River's
worldwide sales channel, allowing Wind River customers access to a broad
array of advanced Internet technologies. Rapidly growing potential markets
for these solutions include: enterprise and carrier network equipment such as
switches, routers, WAN access equipment; cable modems and cable modem
termination systems, xDSL modems and DSL access multiplexers, and home
networking equipment. In addition to gaining strategic technologies and
products, Wind River adds the leading-edge engineering talent of the
RouterWare team to its existing base, giving the company the deepest
expertise of any embedded software provider.

"Networking technology is critically important to products based on embedded
software, especially now that the Internet is driving a tremendous amount of
growth in non-PC technology," said Jerry Fiddler, chairman and co-founder of
Wind River. "This acquisition underscores our goal to provide high value
solutions to Internet infrastructure manufacturers working to bring real
bandwidth -- wired and wireless -- to our homes and offices. The addition of
RouterWare's more than 50 networking protocols to our existing networking
technologies -- including the software we acquired from Xact and the
resulting TornadoTM for Managed Switches product -- further extends our
position as the leading provider of embedded software for the new era of
Internet devices."

"We are very excited about being part of the explosive growth in post-PC
applications that is Wind River's domain," said Ross Wheeler, founder and
chief executive officer of RouterWare. "Our products will now be available to
a much larger group of developers through Wind River. And, by bringing
embedded application development software and our wide range of networking
products under one roof, developers will be able to build next-generation
embedded applications far more easily and with more options than ever before."
