JULY 10, 2007 | WASHINGTON — Cisco® (NASDAQ: CSCO - message board), EMC® Corp. and Microsoft Corp. today announced the formation of an alliance of technology vendors that will offer one of the most comprehensive, security-enhanced, commercial, multi-vendor, end-to-end information-sharing technology architectures for helping protect and share sensitive government information.

Now that is cool - Cisco is Helping Microsoft mend their security issues directly… i know they are coming up with some really cool apps that will work with NAC (Network Access Control) and 802.1X. Really i am sure that once Cisco can integrate to the desktop with Microsoft that will be a powerful solution. Maybe i should start selling Cisco again???
