In this episode, Dave and Paul wait for the next big snow storm to hit Vermont. While waiting they discuss companies moving from their core business to the world of services. This time Cisco's purchase of WebEx is the catalyst for the discussion; however, many other companies have, or are making, this move. Notable companies making this shift include IBM, Microsoft, and Google. As usual Dave and Paul wander off topic to talk about Second Life, Vonage, and their upcoming trips to Europe.
