M., I'm not sure, but I'd give them another quarter before I'd expect to see the start of large revenue from switches to the NT platform. MSFT's launch of 4.0 was relatively recent. Furthermore, co.'s that make such changes in addressing their networking needs tend to do so slowly, as the $ and the system commitments involved prohibit such decisions from being casual.
For any who have not seen the earnings release in its entirety:
