Press Release Summary = O2Micro selects WANdisco's Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliant
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) to support their globally distributed development
efforts.

Press Release Body = PLEASANTON, CA and GEORGE TOWN, Grand Cayman, December 6, 2006.
O2Micro® International Limited (NASDAQ®: OIIM; SEHK: 0457), a leading supplier of
innovative power management, and security components and systems, today announced
its selection of WANdisco's Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliant Concurrent Versions
System (CVS) to support their globally distributed development efforts.

In an ongoing effort to manage various regulatory costs, like SOX, O2Micro chose the
services of WANdisco over other security options available for CVS that offer
limited support and restricted audit reporting capabilities.

"The fact that WANdisco can address regulatory requirements imposed by SOX which are
starting to impact software development organizations and intellectual property
protection made a big difference for O2Micro," said Steve Krems, Information
Technology Director at O2Micro. Mr. Krems adds, "With this implementation, we
anticipate network performance improvement, and a reduction in development cycle
time and risk of valuable intellectual property losses."

"We are delighted that O2Micro selected WANdisco to help protect some of its most
important assets," said David Richards, President and CEO of WANdisco. "Securing
source code that is developed on a worldwide basis is now an imperative for any
public company."

About WANdisco

Since 2001 WANdisco has set out to push the limits of what can be achieved with
distributed systems deployed on a Wide Area Network (WAN). The result of these
efforts is new technology that fundamentally changes the way distributed nodes, or
servers, interact to provide unprecedented levels of reliability, availability and
scalability (RAS) enabling the internet to realize its full potential. WANdisco has
applied this technology to the development of its suite of multi-site SCM solutions
for CVS, CVSNT, and Subversion. For the first time a development team can truly be
spread-out across the world and work as one unit, in real-time.

Global 2000 companies rely on WANdisco\'s suite of SCM solutions for CVS, CVSNT and
Subversion to enable them to distribute work based on where their talent is located,
rather than on the basis of time-zone constraints. This results in dramatically
reduced costs and significantly improved utilization of scarce resources, visit
