Saying the other brand sucks doesn't make yours any better. Besides, there are other big players on the market. Terribly lame of Cisco...

Looks like some random person registered this one. The domain and ip do not look related to cisco even though someone has falsely pasted their logo all over the site.

(1) If Cisco were responsible, would they want to advertise the fact ?
(2) If Cisco feel their intellectual and copyright property is being
abused, Cisco lawyers would have the Cisco name and branding removed in
seconds !

Hi Frank,

Quote from the blog: "Some vendors have repeatedly over-promised and under
delivered, and still somehow receive credit for their vision! (You can read
more about one vendor's repeated broken promises here.)"

Personally I think this is a pathetic action from Cisco, however I'm not
surprised by them doing it ...

Nice, I didn't see that. Then I guess whoever set up this site was a shill for Cisco, I just love how instead of focusing on developing better products, that they are more about marketing now.
Cisco has always been about marketing from since Chambers took over way back when!
Does seem odd that Cisco would use Go Daddy. My first thought was a
disgruntled (ex) Juniper Employee. Then again, Juniper did bash Cisco in
its cartoon strips all those years. Payback???
Wow... If Cisco slides any further into mudslinging, I'll expect the company to run
for president.

Or possibly Cisco is trying to cover their tracks.

I'm bit surprised people actually think where campaign site is hosted and who
has registered domain can be used to predict who is responsible for it. Cisco
marketing probably have tons of webshops from whom they buy campaigns, what
ever company was responsibly for winning this bid happens to use godaddy and
rackspace.
Our marketing has bought campaigns which have been hosted in our competitors
networks, they don't understand to ask from the bidder where and how will the
pages be hosted.
Check out the White Papar referenced ....
http://www.overpromisesunderdelivers.net/pdfs/Why_Cisco_Not_Juniper.pdf
It has Cisco's usual White Paper format and their copyright stamped on the
bottom which is also dates "9/11". If it's not Cisco or one of it's
affiliates, I would expect them to be contacting their so called "Marketing"
folks anytime now.
If this really is Cisco .... i'm with Owen and expect a presidential bid
announcement any second now ....
Either way, it's pathetic. If someone is going to slander in the fashion the
site has done, they should at least put a contact form somewhere for some
feedback 
Slander means falsehood. Cisco tells lies ?
Slander means falsehood. Cisco tells lies ?
If you believe any vendors out there are white knights (telling no
lies) you may need a reality check.
Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
Define Cisco in your context please. Cisco marketing?? Cisco sales?? Cisco
TAC? Cisco product development??
I've been told several lies by some Cisco SE's that have worked with me, but
I wouldn't go as far to say "Cisco lies".
Cisco outsourced PR campaign? Wouldn't be the first time a company has hired a
shop, stuck a link to the result on their home page, and then been surprised by
what they linked to.
In any case, I'm sure *somebody* is having an uncomfortable conversation
in their supervisor's office this morning. 
Lies? So who has 100G MX series cards then..?
