I agree, I don't think they bought it either, I was just trying to dissect the press release and have some fun. I think the ultimate proof of them not buying it was that EMC wasn't on the list. Apparently, EMC's Celerra and IP-4700 cannot pass the Microsoft hardware certification for NAS. This leads one to believe that EMC's CIFS (Common Internet File System) implementation is not quite there yet. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes EMC to get it certified. How embarrassing for them since Reuttgers likes to go around trumpeting how much money they spend on R&D. Apparently, it isn't money well spent.
