I didn't make my point clearly, enough. I am saying that it probably won't matter that you don't run HP switches, just like it doesn't matter than you may not run cisco switches... And that I suspect every company that has products in both switching and wireless is going to temp you, one way or the other, to converging to a single vendor. I was simply saying this is nothing new or different, and that in the end, probably won't matter.
