At every "show", like Interop this week, a theme emerges of what the dominate product interest and announcements are about. It seems the last several RSA and Interop shows were all about NAC...NAC...NAC. 
Will it be a repeat again at this show? As Borat would say (smiling); "In my country, you they would like-a, 10G, a-vera mucha. NAC? You, not so mucha." (and then stop smiling).
We're always enthralled with the "next" thing when it comes to speed and while most networks today wouldn't yet benefit from 10G, that's certainly where we are all headed. Heck, I even have a 1G switch in my home network. While I think 10G will be a good bit of what we heard about at Interop this week, I actually believe that this year we will hear about a wider range of interests. VoIP of course is a big topic but SMB is picking up steam too (that's where our Cobia is focused for course). So stay tuned and we'll see how the week unfolds.
