[Derick Winkworth]

Engineer to your requirements.  Cisco and Juniper are good vendors to have for 
variety.

Hi,

"depends on what you want to do with it"

Recently, OS and TAC support quality at Juniper seriously went down the
drain, so the original reason to want Juniper "high quality operating
system and very motivated company to iron out the remaining wrinkles"
seems to have been lost...

OTOH, Cisco is still stuck in "we have too many operating systems and
we spend half our resources with BU in-fighting" mode - which, I guess,
will now be fixed by firing 10.000 folks from engineering so they won't
get in the way of the in-fighting anymore...

Right now, I'm not sure I'm trusting either company enough.
