I was totally green to Cisco IOS when I was working on the Arrowpoint at the time. I liken the bugs on the CSS to normal cisco IOS quirks/bugs. (Complete with TAC trying to come up with reasons certain features weren't available yet.) I remember upgrading my Arrowpoint 1100 the first time Cisco released the code for it and thinking the only thing they changed was the startup ASCII logo. :-) We all hedged bets that Cisco was going to absorb the CSS and just make it a software feature on the Catalyst switches. I haven't heard of that actually happening yet though. G
