It can only improve the 3COM line...

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Re: HP to Acquire 3Com for $2.7 Billion
it's interesting for sure.
currently HP has sourced Cisco brand switches for their blade enclosures... i wonder if they're going to try and keep the whole process in house.
personally i've never had any problems with the cisco gear (specifically in regards to the blades) both fiber and copper.
i feel kinda, um, nervous about a 3com switch going in its place. knowwhatimean?
