Updates are always good, that shows they are still giving their server stuff attention. I can't wait to hear of those new Pro's/Servers. I hope they do have some sort of rack mounts, i saw a site that had their own claimed version of Xserve. I just like technology

Never ever heard of XSan before, but it seems like a cool technology.

What

I'm sure most people will read this and go, what? I really do hope that Apple can still provide products and services for Businesses and Professionals. Most businesses use Microsoft products because they have to. Apple seems to have given up on making "professional" products. I'll laugh when Apple Audio / Visual fan boys have to start using PC's because Mac's can't do anything beside check Facebook.......hopefully that day will never come.
