Deregistration of Securities

                On November 7, 2000, Wind River Systems, Inc. (“Wind River”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-49450) (the “Registration Statement”), covering 1,244,940 shares of Wind River’s common stock to be sold from time to time by selling stockholders of Wind River named therein. The Registration Statement was filed in order to register shares of Wind River’s common stock issued to the former stockholders of Rapid Logic, Inc., which was acquired by Wind River on October 24, 2000.  On December 5, 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission  declared the Registration Statement effective.

                In accordance with the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement pursuant to item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, Wind River is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to remove from registration all of the shares that remain unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof, calculated to be 559,306 shares of common stock, based on the records of Wind River’s transfer agent.  Wind River is seeking to deregister these shares because its obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant to the agreement and plan of reorganization between Wind River and Rapid Logic, Inc. has expired.

                Accordingly, Wind River is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to deregister such number of the shares of its common stock registered pursuant to the Registration Statement as remain unsold thereunder as of the date hereof.
