King of commodity

I couldn’t help but notice Mr. Bo Gowan’s post yesterday regarding Gartner’s magic quadrant for corporate telephony. In his post, he notes that Nortel is cited as the leader in completeness of vision, and goes on to quote Mr. Marty Parker and the Gartner publication on how Microsoft is focused on applying communications in a new way, and how Nortel has the best OCS integration.While it’s great that Nortel integrates its commodity (voice) infrastructure with the revenue generating potential of Mocrosoft, I have to wonder how much being King of Commodity adds to Nortel’s bottom line.And of course, regarding Nortel’s completeness of vision, I can only think of the Thomas Edison quote, “Vision without execution is hallucination”.
