[c-nsp] Cisco IOS

[christian.macnevin at uk.bnpparibas.com]

Sorry, but nooooooo way is CCO's search engine stuck in 1995. At least, in 
98, it rocked. You were able to search within
heirarchical sections, search within results and you got some relatively 
meaningful answers, not screens and screens of
release notes for things you don't give a rat's proverbial about.

There's a pretty big community of people I've met that believe they 
actually downgraded the functionality to make it easier
to control access to the information through things like AS contracts and 
Gold partnerships and to push the Cisco Press sales.
I swear at the search engine on a daily basis..

Have you spent much time on the web sites for other router vendors?

Getting to an software image is too much of a click-fest, everything slows
down a bit after UK-lunchtime when the US gets out of bed, and the search
engine is still resolutely stuck in 1995, but on balance CCO is a blazing
beacon of utility compared to some I've tried to use.

Regards,
Tim.
