An ever-changing market... changes again


By now I'm guessing everyone's heard about Cisco's acquisition of WebEx, and have also read the many reports and analyst views on it.  

I'm not really in a place where I can comment on any kind of official position IBM might have related to the news, and at the same time sit in a role that doesn't really make it possible to publicly discuss an unofficial position.  So, I'll just leave things for now by saying that in the 5+ years I've been involved in the real-time collaboration market, the only thing I've learned for sure is that today things are different than they were yesterday, and tomorrow will bring more of the same.
