		<description><![CDATA[In the last couple of years, I find that I rarely use physical books to read something new. I recently started a new role that requires me to use a Windows 7 laptop and I'm finding it unreadable. Either there is something wrong with Windows or Apple have done something exceptional with screen displays.

		<description><![CDATA[In recent months I seem to have hit a lot of bugs in Cisco software. Across the board on the main software releases of IOS, NX-OS or IOS-SX I seem to be hitting a wide range of bugs, and some of them are pretty stupid. And I've realised that, in recent years, it has become so commonplace, so <strong>accepted</strong> that we actually plan our projects with time to test, locate and check for bugs. And that’s become an expensive and time-consuming problem.

Why do we put up with this ?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I resent the fact that Cisco partners get more information than Customers on Cisco's website. Shows you who Cisco thinks the Customer really is. 

What special powers do resellers have that makes them more effective ? 

How does withholding information from Customers give a better outcome ? 

Me ? Many resellers are not competent enough to be business and need a headstart to be useful to customers. Without some sort of "special needs" assistance, they wouldn't be in the race. 

Too harsh ? IBM and HP don't rely on resellers to win business. Why does Cisco ?]]></description>
