Shwed, on the other hand, claims that he is not a conservative, but rather a realist. This explanation angered Shwed. Cisco is not a new force, but has rather been competing with us for four or five years, while Nortel has been doing so for three to four years. In the past Sun and IBM also wanted to get into this market, but today their products are on the way out. We don't need to beat everyone.
Competition is good.
It's good for us too. If you look around now, you will find that two of them have closed down, two have either merged or been sold, and only one is still alive - and even that doesn't mean that it will last until next month. The local capital market was happy to hear that Shwed had agreed to list Check Point for trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Shwed, however, does not see what he will get out of it. We're not raising capital, the financial market that is trading Check Point shares is big and serious, with about 30 analysts covering the company's share.
