Traditionally in any industry buying during economic downturns is good business.

Successful businesses often focus on innovation of existing products during the "good times" and focus on new acquisitions during the "bad times". Smart companies buy cheap and refine high.

It seems that Cisco has had the foresight to save money during the boom that they've seen over the past decade so that they can buy new technology at a lower cost than they would have a short time ago.

This is smart business.
