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 November 10, 2008. Consolidation of Reportable Segments
As previously reported, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we consolidated our Altiris Services, which was formerly included in the Security and Compliance segment, into our Services segment to better align our operating structure. Pursuant to guidance provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, and 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 28, 2008 ("Annual Report"), to reflect this change in reportable segments for all periods presented: 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 this change in our reportable segments. There is no change to our previously reported consolidated operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
The change to Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," is to refer to the consolidated operating segment structure that we adopted in fiscal 2009, and to report Net revenues and Operating income from our reportable segments consistently with this presentation. The changes to Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," are to amend Notes 4, 7, and 19 to report Net revenues, Operating income
(loss), Depreciation and amortization expenses and Goodwill for our reportable segments consistently with this presentation. Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits
