They do make economic sense when it works,perhaps thy should have fully tested the firmware update. At least the data centres have the redundancy and not the individual or the company, it save us pennies from having equipment we bought largely remaining idle most of the time.

Think they need to try and reduce the cooling requirements of the equipment in the DCs, particularly in London as there will be a squeeze on power in the not too distant future
