I don't think too many of Cisco's latest ideas on how the website should
function (remember Java-only download cart introduction day) are in line
with real life.

However, I must give credit for keeping extensive documentation and
references available. For the Cisco people listening: please don't ever
take that away or require contracts to view. It's an awesome way to self
research and one of the major reasons I keep buying Cisco. (All the
expertise on this list is another reason.)
