Which makes no sense to me. I originally looked at both and thought OSPF 
to be inferior to IS-IS. That being said, OSPF is supported on more (and 
cheaper) hardware. IS-IS can have additional licensing with some 
hardware (where OSPF does not) and is often considered a "service 
provider" protocol by vendors.
