If your CEO insists on spending money on a service contract,
then go ahead and get a service contract.  If you're running a
server than has to have five nines up-time, then you'd better
pay to have somebody guaranteed on-site in 60 minutes from when
the phone rings.

For what I do (SW development) I invariably get better/quicker
results from mailing lists and Usenet than I ever did from
commercial support.
