Just two weeks ago I proceeded with a metaswitch deal, NARROWLY forgoing the latest Broadsoft and Broadcloud pitch. I would have cancelled my order had I went Broadsoft and learned this later.
Cisco loves to acquire and kill products.

I remember sitting with a Broadcloud rep 18 months ago and they were worried about how SFB on Office 365 would affect their business. Still find it amusing that we took it as a serious threat.
I still have a lot of hope for FusionPBX and some other open source products as well.
