Steve,

There is a HUGE time cost(investment) to ramp up into a WORLDWIDE service capability needed to support the high margin server business. Finding, training, and keeping (esp NT trained) competent field service technicians is major. For instance, to train a technician to be skilled in NT or Unix support can involve a period of 1 to 2 years, assuuming some electronics background. DEC already has done this for both NT and Unix. Thousands of competent NT and Unix trained techs are already located at hundreds of service facilities worldwide.
