I dont compare Cisco to Microsoft at all

MSFT dominates via standard ownership, forced purchases in the PC world, intimidation of rivals, theft of rival products, predatory pricing (bundling) of rival products, and general mediocrity of their own product, but little if any acquisitions of rivals

CSCO dominates via excellence, anticipation of market need (interoperability of routing, bridging, etc), cooperation with rivals, acquisitions of small niche growth companies

different as night and day to me
