Exactly, NewVision. That's what the pessimists on this thread don't understand. There are tremendous advantages to being #1 or 2 in most of your market segments. As the market goes, so goes your business. If the economy pulls out, so will Cisco. It's just that simple. On the other hand, the smaller companies will fare much worse. If they are still cash flow negative, they may go out of business. If they are positive, but not gaining market share, they actually stand to lose business as large companies opt for the safer vendor (Cisco instead of Juniper).
