Politics and cluelessness. There are rumours that Cisco's next CCM will
run Linux. Cisco also used Win2000 on their BBSM product. An amazing
piece of crap according to those who had to install it and maintain it.
You had to reboot the thing over and over. Sounds familiar?

VWWorks is as stable as it gets compared to M$. At least they had the
brains to put the important part on a Unix like OS. About the M$ part,
well, it's silly decisions like that that contribute to 3Com's fading
away.
