Cisco want to be more than just routing and switching and need to stay relevant with all the new ways/devices which connect to the corporate network/cloud. I think this is a good move for them.

Easy to buy
Easy to use
Gets the tick from Security

I wonder if Bing will find its place in companies desktop SOE through the transition between Windows XP and Windows 7. Most companies will lock down the desktops pretty tight, so depending on how your IT department feels you may not get a choice of what search engine you use.

So Lucid users can look forward to using Bing as the default search engine.

Please sir can we have a Linux version too!!

Rick Rolling is so last year....

Linus hates you and your evil phone (im joking)
