War chest?

33 billion from ripping off customers for years. Wow, who do they think they are? Oracle?

Now who is going to buy into the Cisco tax when Oracle and Microsoft is already there?

Rather give it to HP and Juniper! At least their stuff works with everyone else but Cisco, which is much more important than Cisco is any day!

The only way Cisco can take a dollar of my budget is if they muscle SUN from Oracle!

I'm laughing as my parent CO slowly rips a 50K seat network out of Cisco's death grip!

are up about 30% in the UK over the last year. And they were never the cheapest in the first place.

Cisco is the Monsanto of IT.
