eCo Software is a company which is developing system components for the operating system.

How many products created by eCo Software do you have on your PC?

1. Financial state of eCo Software. The sales of eComStation
software are growing. The investments made into the development of
eComStation drivers and applications in 2007 and 2008 exceed the
income. We are going to return the investments during 2009 and 2010.
