People actually expect Cisco management to acknowledge that LU/ASND merger will be successful ? What weed are they smoking on the CSCO thread ? Chambers and Co. have a standard response to any competitor merger : Geographical distance, cultural difference, different visions, senior management leaving etc. etc. Helllllooooo !!! Have all successful companies that have merged been next door or had family on the board that shared a common vision or were youngsters that they did not retire for 35 years ??? What short memory WS has. Cisco said the same thing in April '97 after ASND/CSCC merger but they kicked Cisco's butt. If CSCC had not turned Cisco down they would be together today and Cisco would not have been forced to pick up Stratacom (and we would never be hearing this distance problem). Sour Grapes I would say. -hitesh
