Check out the White Papar referenced ....

http://www.overpromisesunderdelivers.net/pdfs/Why_Cisco_Not_Juniper.pdf

It has Cisco's usual White Paper format and their copyright stamped on the
bottom which is also dates "9/11". If it's not Cisco or one of it's
affiliates, I would expect them to be contacting their so called "Marketing"
folks anytime now.

If this really is Cisco .... i'm with Owen and expect a presidential bid
announcement any second now ....

Either way, it's pathetic. If someone is going to slander in the fashion the
site has done, they should at least put a contact form somewhere for some
feedback :)

Looks like some random person registered this one.  The domain and ip do
not
look related to cisco even though someone has falsely pasted their logo

over the site.

Another:
Does seem odd that Cisco would use Go Daddy.  My first thought was a
disgruntled (ex) Juniper Employee.  Then again, Juniper did bash Cisco in
its cartoon strips all those years.  Payback???

I'm bit surprised people actually think where campaign site is hosted and
who
has registered domain can be used to predict who is responsible for it.
Cisco
marketing probably have tons of webshops from whom they buy campaigns, what
ever company was responsibly for winning this bid happens to use godaddy
and
rackspace.
Our marketing has bought campaigns which have been hosted in our
competitors
networks, they don't understand to ask from the bidder where and how will
the
pages be hosted.
