But now, we’ll have the additional advantage of the world’s largest manufacturer of networking gear shoving it down their customers’ throats!

You know, the important things.” <BR/><BR/>That struck me as fishy....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-43630477713502516562008-04-02T22:14:00.000-04:002008-04-02T22:14:00.000-04:00See, this crap isn't funny when due to living in a...See, this crap isn't funny when due to living in a different timezone you read it on April 2.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-69382052512922844452008-04-02T01:10:00.000-04:002008-04-02T01:10:00.000-04:00Ahahaha good one.

And honestly I don't think being acquired by Cisco is a positive move due to their history of poor integration between products that they acquire. Although they have improved a little bit lately.
