| | PC World - Is That Microsoft Calling? |
 | | Cisco Systems' acquisition of Latitude Communications, announced earlier this month, may be a step up the software stack toward what has been Microsoft's territory in the data world, some analysts said. |
 | | Cisco Systems, which aims to provide the infrastructure for convergence with its IP Communications product portfolio, doesn't see Microsoft on its heels either, according to Craig Cotton, manager of product marketing at the IP Communications business unit. |
 | | And Charlie Giancarlo, senior vice president and general manager of switching, voice, and storage at Cisco, said Cisco expects to see Microsoft as a partner rather than as a competitor. |
