The big difference between the companies are Cisco ongoing willingness to use one of the hottest assets in the world (its stock) to buy lots of new technology. It is much cheaper and quicker than doing it in house (like Oracle).
That is how the current Cisco was built (the management bought out the owners). Oracle was built from the ground up. Not a bad model. But not necessarily one that grows the quickest. Also, Oracle is way ahead of itself right now but will be great long term because of all the reasons everyone has been talking about.
