I'm not going to lie to you...after moving to os x...i can't stand windows anymore...i actually forgot how to use windows...but either i won't upgrade new mac or move to window and get used to it...
at this point..apple is no different than windows....reminds me of steve ballmer.
Funny how many Sep/Oct 14 join date people come in here, and are saying negative things about Apple. This site has become so full of shills it's awful.
And not saying I think this Mini is awesome or anything. Just the overtly negative posts by people who could have only possibly been on this site for 19 days or less filling the board with negativity.

I would love to a server farm with iMacs in rack mounts!! Think out it, they are really designed for it
Apple are now becoming a very boring company. It's not only that their products are getting boring, they charge WAY too much (and no - don't need feeding all the usual lines about 'support' and TCO - don't need that old chestnut) it's also that all the hysterical pre-event hype and then the predictable, self-inflicted post-event "disappointment" is cringe worthy, highly annoying, childish and tedious... it just makes me want to grab hold of the people who get involved in it, give them a good hard shake and a slap around the face with a cold flannel, then kick them into next week so they wake up and stop being so utterly idiotic... over such meaningless consumer items. All this crap will be in landfill within a few years - it's utterly futile to consume SO much of one's time, being enslaved to such rampant consumer culture obsession.
I'll tell you what else is pathetic - arguing over PERSONAL preferences for products, platforms and hardware. It's called PERSONAL choice so it suits YOU. I love Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, ALL OF IT - I love Android, Windows Phone, iOS... all gravy, baby
I hear you... I far prefer osx too, but this is going too far. People that I respect have told me Windows has gotten much better in recent years and I'll give it a try if there isn't a mac mini option that meets my needs next year.
wait a minute...if she eps are rebelling...that mean they are no longer sheeps?
This comment would make sense if you could choose a quad core option on higher end models.
I won't deny it..imo it is boring. Further restricting how we live our lives with apple products....geez...i don't know anymore...
I'd think the general Mini customer, even new, would be slightly above the general "new computer user" level, since it means they already have a source of monitor/keyboard/mouse and probably have some idea of checking for suitability, or have someone pointing them at the Mini. Real newbies are more likely to look at a MacBook Air or iMac, I suspect. The Airs also default to 4GB of memory - it isn't quite time to be able to move to an 8GB given Apple's desired price points and margins.
Wow...
I can't remember a time where apple launched a refresh of a product that was an absolute flop job, but this is definitely a big-time fail on their part. I have no idea what their design staff was thinking.

lol...i hear ya.
Hey, c'mon why the sour grapes..you can now make a stylin "It's Family Trip" video on the new pencil thin iPad. Everyones wins!
Apple released OS X Server 4.0 on the same day that Yosemite was released, so they are still pushing out new versions frequently. That, and they have significantly expanded the mobile device and Xsan services that OS X Server provides, so it appears that Apple is still taking server software seriously. True, there is no dedicated server hardware at the moment, but it is somewhat hard to believe that Apple will not release such hardware again in the future, when they continue to expand and add enterprise-grade offerings to their server feature set.
I agree with others that there needs to be some sort of option that includes the power of an iMac without the screen. The all in one form factor works in some situations, but there are plenty of others in which it does not.
This is the reason that I ended up building a hackintosh. Didn't even spend much money (less than $400) and I get almost 10,000 as a multicore score

Xserve has been and gone. No server needs 5K ... (come to think of it, not many consumers *need* it, either).
