This is from the report you referenced at www.zeltser.com/

"Although smaller competitors have reduced prices to attempt to gain market share, Symantec and McAfee have always maintained similar pricing. In fact, by expanding product SKUs and entering into a service payment model, the vendors have actually considerably increased the prices they command for their products. For example, Symantec has managed to increase average product prices by approximately 25% for the last several years."

How about this scenario... More SKU's + higher prices and there is still belt tightning. Sounds like loss of marketshare to me.
