The routing table is a good question. There's also all the features that Cisco supports with IOS. Can MS do bridging, access-lists, HSRP, redistribution, and ISL? Plus if you've got backup hardware and a copy of your config, a totally dead router can be replaced with another in 5 minutes. How fast can a server be built? I'm thinking MS may be useful for adding a couple segments to an existing net, but basing an enterprise on all MS routers seems almost comical. With the cost of layer 3 switching coming down, and performance going through the roof, it looks like switches are going to be running the core from here on out.
