Re: Service is expensive If the history of technology teaches us anything it is that breakthroughs happen by making what is "expensive" no longer matter. If the bottleneck is "service" then technology will evolve in such a way that "service" is no longer needed (at least in its present form). One of the early arguments against the automobile was that it was obvious that it could never be successful because there simply weren't enough chauffeurs. RAID systems weren't "ready for prime time" when they first appeared either, yet in a remarkably short period of time they reordered the storage industry. The same will happen in processors because it's easier and cheaper to "waste" compute cycles than to "harden" them.
