Gents,

Other than Stocksp**m looking for a place in the universe, I can't see a better development for Cisco than the NT/Bay marriage. Some points to ponder:

- How does a valley-based engineer with tons of stock options feel like working for an 80,000 person Canadian company with NO STOCK PLAN (only senior managers at NT have options)
- How would a Bay sales rep feel about getting a 50 % cut in salary ? (or NT reps getting half the salary of their Bay counter-part?)
- How about a merger with key people in 5 different cities (Toronto,San Jose, RTP, Dallas and Boston....Ouch !!!)

CSCO will have a field day while the NT boys figure this mess out !!

The market has voted, this deal sucks for NT !

Cheers,

Peppe
