Re: Hardware tiers

Remember that just because company "A" has licensed a product to run on 
the hosting providers machine does not IN ANY WAY allow company "B" to 
'mooch' off that license.  That's part 1.

Part 2 is that most of the software vendors already have considered how 
to price in a hosted environment and it's 'Mostly' not based on 
processor tier. It varies a lot by product of course but they have ways 
to deal with it reasonably so they stay in business (by getting paid) 
and the customer gets a fair shake as well.

Except TLI. Under the bus with them. (And likely a few others.)
