You obviously didn't get the sarcasm. Having said that, $40m is a lot of money, especially considering it shouldn't have required any extra hardware or even a complete platform change (with expensive licensing). Even at $200k/year that's 100 developers for 2 years to implement what is essentially a subscription-based service.
