yeah but isn't that the old backwards compatibility issue? I'm not disputing their HP product is not a complete open architecture. But new products whatever they are are likely to be, don't you think? The silkworm II for example. They have a very successful legacy installed base, that is the issue for brcd which is a blessing and a curse. Rhapsody had products having nothing to do with brcd in the pipeline before they were bought, I'm sure, I wonder what those look like.
