Doesn't matter what product or what technology can be used to police. If you have a highway and its congested you "add lanes" or take a different route. Now Microsoft should start thinking about alternat routing...but most enterprises only have one route.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11428745.post-46119812762229376472007-10-29T21:54:00.000-07:002007-10-29T21:54:00.000-07:00Well, Cisco was all over the place but just not a ...Well, Cisco was all over the place but just not a sponsor at the event and therefore did not have a booth.<BR/><BR/>Nortel was there because of their partnership although I am sure you noticed that Nortel was making a bigger deal out of that then Microsoft was, because Microsoft wants to partner with as many folks as possible.<BR/><BR/>Cisco and Microsoft have definitely put Unified Communications in the competitive category and I don't think you are going to see a lot of partnership announcement around OCS at all. There will be a Cisco announcement about integration and a Microsoft one regarding supported Gateways but that is all I expect to see.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I think this is good for Cisco and good for Cisco customers. Companies always seem to perform better, have better features and listen to their customers more when there is health competition. I don't think I have seen Cisco move like this since they were getting clocked in the wireless space. Lets hope it leads to some great engineering and better pricing for all of us!<BR/>- EdHowfunkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06910843690691777096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11428745.post-89274899494281174662007-10-29T13:46:00.000-07:002007-10-29T13:46:00.000-07:00You forgot to mention Cisco was nowhere to be seen...You forgot to mention Cisco was nowhere to be seen although Nortel was all over the place --- Looks like Cisco will continue with their competitive strategy against Microsoft with Microsoft only helping those that don't complete at multiple levels against them.<BR/><BR/>AND, Cisco was not even a partner of the event?
