“But what’s this really all about? Of course, The VAR
Guy thinks he knows:“* Shifting the market from Windows to Network Applications:
Cisco CEO John Chambers has clearly stated that he expects to
compete far more fiercely with Microsoft and Google in the years
ahead. The networking battles – between Cisco and Nortel, for
instance – are old news. By recruiting Linux application developers
to back AXP, Cisco hopes to disrupt the old Windows ISV market. The
ultimate goal is to beat Microsoft in the Unified Communications
market.”
