I welcome a competitor to the buggy MS crap being foisted on people that just want to watch TV without power-cycling their cable boxes. | |

| Unfortunately Cisco has such a large and diverse product mix that a boycott of consumer devices would be a little like a boycott of microsoft paint For the small number of tech aware consumers that would sign on to this Cisco would not feel it.

| Re: Sounds like it's time to boycott Cisco products! I agree that it would not succeed, but it would be a statement, especially coupled with a grassroots movement to make our elected reps aware we aren't going quietly into a Telco/**AA world of tiered internet, and locked down content. Just another front in the war against corporate dominance of all thought and interaction in this so-called "culture". | |
