If this is really from Cisco, it must put a smile on the face of
Juniper to know their competitor of 10x the revenue is watching their
moves so closely... Typically in the Mac vs. PC adds you see the non
established player (apple) making pokes at the established.

OTOH, you do see Micr0$0ft doing everything they can to imitate Apple.

I was at Valley Fair mall the other day. Micr0$0ft is apparently building a
new store directly across from the Apple store there. They have gone to
the trouble and expense of covering the "under construction" paneling
with a full-color mural touting this fact, including employees dressed in
brightly colored Apple-store-like T-shirts sporting name badges identical
to those worn by the employees in the Apple store.

I wonder if Micr0$0ft is going to develop a Zune cash register, too?
