It makes lots of revenue, but very little money. PSG has ~5% margin, which will 
probably only fall further in the future. HP Services has a margin of ~15%, HP 
Software around 20%, IPG is ~17% etc.

  Supposedly the margins are low, but it's still their biggest revenue 
generator.  I don't get it.  I mean, I'm sure some MBA can spew buzzwords about 
why, but fundamentally, I don't get it.  The money is still green, regardless 
of how it's made.
