I was just quoting what I was told at Microsoft in Reading last week.
But you're right, it's Microsoft Professional Services or a partner, which I
believe
there are about 4/5 of. By your reasoning the product would cost in the
region of �1650*3,
which is less than in used to be sold for by it's developers.
