CPU on demand is pretty cool.  But one does wonder about the economics of 
already including the hardware at no additional cost, hoping to make 
additional profit by people when they "activate" the process.  But IBM's 
done that for years.  One Urban Legend is about the service rep that stuck 
in a plain business card in a mainframe to make it run faster while he was 
servicing it.
