For those of us who have not kept up with every latest feature that Cisco rolls out across all its platforms, can someone explain this new service? Is it like Windows update, where Cisco will auto-update your router s/w and thereby brick it? If I don't register my router with Cisco, what do I lose? I can't update it manually?
And what happens when your *cough* "router" isn't actually on the Internet? How can it be managed and upgraded on a regular old network? ...
