Hi Briand! some comments at streetadvisor.com on CSCO's quarter address the very issue about why the "shortfall" in earnings compared to revenues. Basically, they said that CSCO could have beat estimates by .02 or .03 but chose instead to accelerate some selling and R&D expenses to give them a start on next Q earnings. They also said that engineers say "CSCO is nearly impossible to displace once an organization adopts CSCO solutions. That means that beating the competition on price to win short term sales will lead to higher recurring revenues and steadier margins down the line" streetadvisor.com regards
