That may be why it has struggled. It has a plan, however, to get back on track: align with IBM and go after Linux environments, rather than Microsoft Windows environments. Oh, and return to profitability next year. <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/1103tarantella.html?net> Patent suit takes aim at Cisco routers, switches A Miami Beach, Fla., company Tuesday sued Cisco for alleged patent infringement, charging the networking giant with stealing its routing technology. <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/1104patensuit.html?net> E-voting backers claim successful election; critics continue to be concerned Critics of electronic voting security conceded Wednesday that the number of glitches reported with e-voting machines likely didn't have an impact on the U.S. presidential race. <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/1103e-votbacke.html?net> Today on Layer 8, no patching required: First felony spam convictions handed down; experts say we don't want cash for Christmas; play video games, lose weight; and India says outsourcing will continue with Bush win; and all this today and more at your home for not-just-networking news. <http://www.nwfusion.com/weblogs/layer8/?net> _______________________________________________________________ To contact: Jeff Caruso Jeff Caruso is managing editor of online news for Network World.
