CS bought Dec's networking division (lots of unnamed goodies there), Then bought Yago,maker of fastest networking switches , then announced software to examine (and fix) all network problems together rather than on a manual-piecemeal basis. Then another piece of software for networking. This after a new CEOand downsizing 600 employees. After all that, and some enthusiastic comments and a slight stock upswing, a downswing and lowered ratings. Things should get better. According to the news article, they now have (working or nearly) a switch which is 4x to 5x faster than any owned by the giants they compete with (Lu, Csco, Next?). In this area of competition, speed is the greatest virtue. This is all from an imperfect memory. CEO reputedly owns 600000 shares bought at 34 which might inspire him to good deeds.
