> they're enterprise devices sold under the explicit notification that they'll only work with Cisco's cloud offering. And after that, when they've been cycled out in favor of newer hardware, all bets should be off. Instead, Cisco decides to actively contribute to the proliferation of e-waste. Besides, the licenses for said cloud offering cost about as much as the hardware (if not more!). If they're going to reserve the "right" to destroy hardware for which the customer has already paid, then it's asinine to sell the hardware in the first place; they could and should drop all pretenses and just lease it.
