To add a "sort of" serious twist to this, for the first time since
the 80s Apple is getting serious and positive press in IT
publications that formerly ignored them almost completely. The XServe
and Xserve RAID are really bringing Apple in the Limelight. Does
Microsoft have to worry? No. Could this result in, say, a 15% market
share over the next 3 years? Yes.
Caveat is that Apple has been here before and screwed IT folks so bad
that even as good as the XServe is folks are cautious. If the server
version of Panther is a full price upgrade as Jaguar was (that's
$1,000 per seat!), it will kill the momentum and Apple Marketing will
be scratching their head and wondering why such a great product can't
penetrate its market.
