  Recent developments in inflation model building, based on supersymmetry, have
produced compelling models in which strings are produced at the end of
inflation. In such models the cosmological perturbations are seeded both by the
defects and by the quantum fluctuations. We show that such models produce
qualitatively new and desirable predictions for CMB anisotropies and the CDM
power spectrum. This remark should put an end to the long term animosity
between defect and inflationary scenarios of structure formation.
