Yeah depends on which end of the scale universe you live at. My guess
is that if you're a Vantage customer here you're on the SME end of
things. ROI (and a lot of other things) look really different than at
the higher end of things.
I just noticed that my new 64-bit Dell desktops came with 2.5" drives
inside 3.5" adapters. I'm guessing they're wringing some extra cost out
of not having to buy and spare two different types of drives. Same
economics at work - probably saves them a few bucks/system, but they
make a *lot* of them.
Of course, I still have to spare SATA and IDE drives, both big and
small. :-)

I am reminded of a friend of mine that was an engineer at Ford. He told
me that he received a bonus once for redesigning a high volume part and
removing costs of just a few cents. Where he works now, he'd be
reprimanded for putting time into something like that.
