I think that's more the issue. Any change in processes costs. And
that cost must be amortized over the amount of sold systems. Since
we will probably have fewer Linux systems, the price per unit is
higher. (Remember that Dell has one of the best logistic systems in
the world; they surely track costs and their amortization.)
