Now who would’ve thought that this would be possible?

Microsoft and Cisco have recently acknowledged the need to be interdependent in an industry where monopoly is shunned outright. The top honchos of both corporations recently met to discuss ways for the two IT leaders to cross-sell their products to their respective customer bases.

The unusual cooperation stemmed not only from mutual respect, but also on demands by consumer for the integration of both companies’ products. It’s not easy to avoid the goods produced by the two IT giants. Microsoft’s Windows runs around 80% of PCs all over the world, while Cisco has about the same amount or degree of share as far as the IP networking industry is concerned.

Many are hopeful that this new development between two of the world’s IT leaders would spark a new trend of cooperation and openness between all the players in the sector. This would definitely eliminate compatibility problems that hound many PC users when integrating products from different manufacturers.
