In addition to Cisco's 85xx ROUTER which is UNTESTED (1 month
beta), INCOMPLETE (missing legacy protocol support), EXPENSIVE
(Lying and Fooling customers seems to be the hallmark of this bad
smelling company)

From the article

One significant feature--support for extended access control lists--is missing fromthe initial software release. The initial software will support only MAC (Media Access Control)-based filtering.

The 85xx junk router is SLOOOOOOOOOW!!!!


Isn't that interesting...

From the article:

(Alpha product no less)


The first in the Catalyst 8500 series, this five-slot chassis
remarkably resembles a Cisco LightStream 1010 ATM switch. I
was not surprised by this coincidence: The 8510 uses the same
10-Gbps backplane.
...
The Catalyst 8510 forwarded all 32 streams at wire speed--a
total of 4,761,760 packets per second--without dropping a
single frame.
...
Cisco makes no performance compromises with the 8500 series;
no combination of boards can oversubscribe the switching fabric.
...
For Cisco, the Catalyst 8510 is just a big toe testing the waters.
In the third quarter, Cisco will begin shipping the Catalyst 8540,
a 13-slot 40-Gbps Layer 3 switch, which will support much higher
densities, OC-48 connections and a faster processor.


As for "missing legacy protocol support" - Cisco's alpha product
supports IP and IPX - Bay's shipping product only routes IP (from
a quick glimpse at the web site).

Not sure what you've been smelling lately.
