Item 8.01. Other Events.

     We are filing this Current Report on Form 8-K for the purpose of incorporating the contents of this report in the Registration Statement on Form S-8 that we intend to file on December 17, 2007.

Expansion of Reportable Segments

     Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we added an additional segment called Altiris that consists of the products we acquired as a result of our April 2007 acquisition of Altiris, Inc. We also moved (1) our GhostTM, pcAnywhereTM, and LiveStateTM Delivery products from the Security and Data Management segment to the Altiris segment and (2) our Managed Security Services and DeepSight products and services from the Security and Data Management segment to the Services segment. In addition, following implementation of our new enterprise resource planning system completed during the December 2006 quarter, we refined the methodology of allocating maintenance revenues among our enterprise segments. The maintenance analysis largely impacts our Data Center Management segment to the offsetting detriment of our Security and Data Management segment. During the September 2007 quarter, we continued to refine our segment structure, and recast certain amounts from the Services segment to the Security and Data Management segment.

     Pursuant to guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we have recast in Exhibit 99.01 filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K the following items that were contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 30, 2007 (“Annual Report”), to reflect these changes in reportable segments: Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” The information included in and with this Current Report on Form 8-K is presented for information purposes only in connection with these changes in our reportable segments. There is no change to our previously reported consolidated operating results, financial condition or cash flows. The changes to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” are to refer to the consolidated operating segment structure that we adopted in fiscal 2008, and to report Net revenues consistently with this presentation. The changes to Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” are to amend Notes 4, 15 and 17 to report Net revenues, Operating income (loss), Depreciation and amortization expense and Goodwill for our reportable segments consistently with this presentation.

     In Item 1, “Business,” of our Annual Report, in the subsection entitled “Operating Segments and Products,” we refer to our having viewed our business in five operating segments and to the fact that beginning in the June 2007 quarter, we would (1) add an additional segment called Altiris consisting of the products we acquired as a result of our April 2007 acquisition of Altiris, Inc. and move our Ghost, pcAnywhere, and LiveState Delivery products from the Security and Data Management segment to the Altiris segment and (2) move our Managed Security Services and DeepSight products and services from the Security and Data Management segment to the Services segment. We are now operating in the reportable segments that we indicated would become effective in the June 2007 quarter.
