$60/hr isn't enough to cover the cost of having a guy answer the
phone?  Lemme see now, that's around $10,800 a month.  Hell, if MS
wants to pick up the cost of putting in the phones and stuff, I'd work
for $11k/month.

Or perhaps you mean that given what it costs, they don't recover
enough to make up for the ill will created by having this kind of
support?  Now THAT one I could believe.
