So the company took away a service that they were offering for free. They were in no way obligated to continue this hosting. Why is this news to anyone?

I've said it elsewhere in the thread but hey: you have boxes that are running production jobs. Surely you have them under support? Whats the big deal?

While I was tempted to troll I thought I'd be serious: What's the big deal? You're not running your production system on hardware without a support contact anyway are you? If anything this gives you some value for money!

I can't seem to find the video I'm looking for but I'm a fan of the new Sun Data Center cooling design. Works on the idea of cooling each cab individually and not all the rest of the rubbish air floating around. I know its been done before but this time its done right. Info somewhere here
