The Mac Pro was NEVER going to be announced at MacWorld. The chips aren't in production yet. We won't see a Mac Pro until late, LATE February at the EARLIEST and probably April/May.
Had Intel made good on their original shipping release, an announcement at MacWorld was possible. Shipments of systems likely to follow 8 weeks later.
The designs should already be complete, and only require the CPU'S for full scale manufacture.
Now, given the Q1 '09 release, May is looking to be realistic indeed.
Assuming they stick to this release schedule.
Doesn't "Q1 2009" usually mean "March 2009"?Now, given the Q1 '09 release, May is looking to be realistic indeed.

WWDC 2009 is my prediction, or maybe a bit earlier.
Come on guys, bite the bullet and say WWDC, at least you won't be disappointed!

Anyone following my conspiracy theory would be wise to take after this man!
(The 518 days conspiracy. The last update took 518 days, and WWDC 2009 is exactly 518 days from the release of the Penryn Mac Pro, so...)
In this circumstance, those are Men In Black shades.
May came from March + 8 weeks.
Just enough time to see units ship.
Conspiracy Theories aren't actually necessary.
Things go wrong in the electronics industry, especially when it comes to planning. 
Meh... just a i7 920, so nothing to get terribly excited over.
Now if Intel would amaze us with a January ship date for the Xeon 5500 series parts, we'd have something to get our attention.
Now the odds of that actually happening,...
LOL!
A good ale can have that effect. Especially when a few are involved.
BTW, Philly? I moved from PA ~ a year and a half ago.
That was my point. It's just a desktop dressed up in server case. I got a laugh out of it, and figured you did as well.
I wasn't saying you were. I just saw a chance to make you laugh.
Ale, or anything else alcoholic and tasty, can give life a nice, and sometimes interesting spin.
If the Nehalem Mac Pro Case design changes then i'll buy a new Mac Pro I currently own the 3.2GHz Module and if the new Mac Pro are going to have a new case design for the Nehalem Mac Pro's then I'll buy other Mac Pro but if it's the same design as the current one's then i'll keep my current Mac Pro until Apple decides to change the case but I heard that the New Mac Pro are going to be fast but I'm waiting until the case design changes before I upgrade to a new one because spending all that money for a new one and it still looks the same I just rather wait until the case design changes then it will look different from the older Mac Pro instead of being the same, I'm sure if any new video cards with display-Port Apple going to bring out will work on older Mac Pro so that us Mac Pro owners can enjoy the new Apple LED Cinema Displays unless Apple will release adapters.
1. PUNCTUATION.
2. Why would a case change warrant an upgrade for you? If that's all you care about, you don't really understand the true purpose of a Mac Pro.
3. What's wrong with the cheese grater, anyway?
4. I would not be surprised if none of the Nehalem Mac Pro's graphics cards work with previous models.
Do you want to put a friendly wager on that???
Just to be clear, you are say No Mac Pro update announcements at the 2009 Macworld event?
Maybe two months before release, as they're not purchased as often as laptops. We really shouldn't notice anything store-wise until a week or two before.
