If C brand worked properly as shipped how would Cisco support
services and other consultancys survive?
It's a MUCH bigger market in consulting services and Rent-a-Expert than
the initial hardware/firmware sales.
If Cisco shipped mostly working product then thousands of high paying
jobs would be lost and probably a billion or more support dollars would
never make the rounds in the economy.
Microsoft and Cisco do the tech industry a HUGE favor by shipping
misfunctional equipment/software to which consulting services and
professional services can then step in and hawk their
wares/bodys/solutions.
If Cisco and Microsoft shipped properly working product the tech
industry/economy would probably disintegrate!
Once you understand the above, the technical industry starts to make a
little more sense; its consulting and professional support services that
drive the economy and not properly functioning gear!
