No Buy-out....Cisco will not be there...     31-Jul-08 08:54 am    
BS speculation ... for funds to pick your pockets:

"Roy tempered most of his comments when I called him on it. While he did suggest if anyone would be interested in purchasing EMC, it would be Cisco, he maintains that it would be foolhardy to do so on a couple of levels. Primarily, Cisco's track record indicates a string of small purchases that helps compliment its product line. "What kind of message would buying EMC send to Cisco's partners like IBM and HP?" Roy said. "It would say that Cisco is now a major storage competitor and its ready to take on two major partners. That's not good for Cisco." He also mentioned that a Cisco-EMC marriage puts Cisco in the role of having to steward production of EMC's hardware divisions, another pain point that Cisco would want to avoid unless provoked. A quick call to Cisco's corporate development group also quelled any talk of an EMC buyout. The representative said it was "highly unlikely" that Cisco was going to spend money on all of EMC..."
