Cisco buys Linksys

(<a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/03/21/BU275654.DTL">news story</a>)

I've heard good things about Linksys; they seem to have set the status quo (or some more fitting phrase) for home networking. Cisco, from what I can tell, isn't too bad. Their curriculum may be awful, but the hardware (from my exceedingly limited experience) seems decent.

So...

Is this friendly takeover a good thing? I'm failing to see how it won't be, unless Cisco goes brand-name price happy on all the relatively simple stuff Linksys makes.
