Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.

But why?
At the risk of being the pro-windows, pro-pc troll, why would you shell out for a Mac Pro even if you're doing a render farm? Off the shelf generic pc's, workstations, or servers are more inexpensive, and more flexible. And for a render farm, why not use a linux cluster and save license fees while you're at it?I think the only people buying Mac Pros are Rush Limbaugh and Leo Laporte.
High End video and audio
High End video and audio editing can explain the Mac Pro. Hardware expandability, not to mention expansion slots to interface with pro multimedia hardware are essential.No, it can't, because Lenovo
No, it can't, because Lenovo produces higher-quality monitors with better color presentation and Linux/Windows do everything OSX does but without the need for proprietary hardware.dude please proofread your article
dear god it's gibberish!I´m not a native English speaken person but I agree.
Sorry, but it sounds strange.....I had to make a purchase
I had to make a purchase decision for my university and the Mac Pro was definitely a strong contender.However, we went with the new Dell PowerEdge t710. It's just as beautifully designed as the Mac Pro, and packs in a lot more power for a lower price. (except the disks, buy the disks elsewhere).
Where are you getting you facts?
Why do you think know one is buying the base model. I bought one. It is plenty powerful to do anything but gaming and advanced video processing. I use it quite extensively for coding and plenty of multi tasking. The higher spec one didn't seem worth the money when i can buy the extra memory from somewhere else pretty cheap. (2g - 4g) I haven't had the need to yet though.Mac books are better because of the quality of the screen/track pads and all the other lovely touches not the OS in my opinion.
Has always been the case
At one brief moment in time the fastest Mac was the Pismo i.e. Powerbook G3 @ 500 MHz.Give 'Em Time
Comments are valid today, but let's revisit in February. Apple always plays leap frog. The Mac Pro is a good machine but not exactly a Christmas item. That beautiful 27" iMac addresses both Christmas and falling iMac sales.And most of us know that Xmas is big for Apple. I help: bought two MacBooks for my girls 2 years back and Mom & Dad will get a new 27" iMac this Xmas.
After Christmas, probably early February, is when Apple will next upgrade. (Won't Intel come out soon with the next iteration of the i7 by then?) I'm hoping upgrades not just for the Mac Pro, but the 17" MBP and the Xserve as well.
Hey, how 'bout a 19" MBP?! :-)
