This is standard practice at Cisco so a little patience is needed. Cisco's Web site isn't so bad once you get used to it. Given that Cisco really is not a single company anymore, but a collection of twenty or so business units attempting to present a single message, then you can easily think that. The IPS product is part of the Security BU, and so will be consistent (more or less) with products that come from that BU. And, yes, IPS isn't really a Cisco strong point.
