Why is IBM declaring war on Cisco?

No need for surprise

Couldn't we expect this for quite some time already? It was April 2009 when IBM and BNT signed a cross-licensing deal. Last time I checked (and bought) BNT pricing in IBM BladeCenter also blew Cisco out of the water. I predicted this to some colleagues nearly a year ago so I'm rather surprised it took them this long.
