I guess that the service link team hasn't gotten the message that system z allows 24/7/365. I can't imagine Microsoft having their service site shut down for that amount of time. So far as I know their equivalent of Service Link is always available. If I had the money I would bring this up at a shareholders meeting but the travel costs are too great for the low value to me personally.
