It appears that Cisco is only supporting technology it's invested heavily in to the exclusion of everything and everyone else that may disagree with them...or have a better competing product.

Are you kidding me. Have you ever checked out Cisco's IOS. They support stuff just for the sake of saying that they can inter-operate with others. As far as I am concerned they do more to play well with others than most other companies out there.

Sure Cisco may spend more time and effort on solutions that directly impact their bottom dollar but what viable company doesn't.
