Is Doom and Gloom ahead for Microsoft?

Below is a link to the story; surprise, surprise Cisco and Microsoft have no idea when this will be out. But my questions is what is Microsoft going to do when they figure out that the solution they are going to push to Server 2008 customers using the WAAS is not that good. Cisco WAAS is not even the best in the industry; do they read Gartner and Forrester Reports? I wonder if this is a last ditch effort from Cisco to salvage the WAAS by using Microsoft to push it on customers? I think this is the only way Cisco could get any kind of market share with the WAAS. What is Microsoft thinking?

The only thing that I hope Microsoft includes in this new Server 2008 with WAAS is a shut off button for the WAAS.
