The buy back policy is very cool! I did a huge migration from 2500's to
2600's and Cisco let us keep a bunch of the 2500's for our CCIE study lab.
(This is before I worked for Cisco). We had to sign a certificate of
destruction and promise never to use these 2500's in a production
environment. They take the serial numbers down to ensure this. This way
SmartNet can never be purchased for them.

Subject: Re: eXtreme ,juniper, Foundary and Cisco
I am in canada and we compared for both products including same $ of
100/Gig. ports, service contract for
2 years and future backplane upgrade and addition of
more modules. It turned out only CDN $ 10000 diffrence
between Cisco and Extreme for 2 6509s or 2 Extremers because we get better
deal as we were quated goverment pricing. Cisco also has buy back policy so
they will credit us bit for Cat5000.
The reseller we deal with never sold extreme product but
now they do as they always have spare box to lend custoemer for demo.
