Sure..I know Umi was not going to hurt Cisco..even if they would have funded the product without customers for the next decade. But...its just another sign that Cisco is too bloated and too slow. Sure..they did the right thing... but wow... 1. they should have never wasted the time if they had really analyzed the market and 2) once they realized it was a failure they should have more quickly killed the product. I made suggestion back in June they do this..but it took them until January.
That means that the company is too spread out with too many layers to be effective.
