True. But I argue that a skilled savvy-tech person can
work on any others vendors box that runs the same
standard protocols (or similar) in a short period of
time given access to the gear, docs, etc. ie: If
someone knows OSPF on Cisco they should be able to do
OSPF on anothers vendors box in a timely manner.

Correct. But, I avoid sales/marketing like the plague
so can't say much. It's not my thing.

I agree. I work in a multi-vendor TAC-like environment
and have seen some other vendor tech-support groups.
It also depends on who you get working with you. I get
good+bad support from the vendors I need to work with
depending on what it is.
