What large east/west CSCO acquisition are you referring to? I don't know of one.... As for listwins comments about not seeing a successful east/west merger in the past, I believe he was referring to one where two very large organizations are involved. It is true that technology has reduced most of the challenges AND, we all know that CSCC is still back east. So I personally suspect that the challenges will be far less pronounced than perhaps CSCO management foresee's. However, I believe Listwin also went on to say that he continues to believe LU will be a winner. I take this to mean that he also believes LU/ASND can pull off the merger... It's funny how people get so heated over hear when CSCO management talks though. It's CSCO management opinions, and positioning. Take it for that and don't take it so personally.... OG OG
