My warranty was over a long time ago; don't know about yours.
If you look at Sun, if you look at Microsoft and Windows, if you look at
Dell, if you look at any server vendor at all, ou'll find that you buy
your hardware, and you buy software maintenance either from the same
vendor, or from a third party vendor (such as us) or you build your own
software maintenance expertise in-house. Or you complain.
Years ago I was a senior programmer analyst for a large mortgage bank.
We used a hybrid network of Novell and Windows NT servers to support
over 1,000 Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS workstations. Our maintenance budget
was well over a million dollars a year.
