Apple's big enterprise push should be in software: Enterprise Objects, Xcode, WebObjects And select hardware: Xserve, Xserve RAID, Airport networks as cheaper server and WiFi net alternatives In the enterprise client/desktop, Apple has to co…

Quote: Originally posted by Ensign Pulver It would make a ton of sense if it was $999 or even $1299. The ONLY thing wrong with the original Cube was the price. Well, Apple will not be able to produce a $999 Cube without seriously revising the…

Quote: Originally posted by JCG Could this foreshadow OS X running of IBM servers and workstations? Or Power 5 Servers from Apple? The next 12 months will be interesting indead. No. And no. If there are going to be Mac OS X servers they ar…

There are some elements of the design the strike me as being very Steve (Jobs). That is the single (and expensive) Aluminium panel that envelopes 3/4 the machine. (There was no real need for this? It could have been 3 separate panels). This i…

Quote: Originally posted by cowerd On the whole the UI now feels as responsive as OS9. Is this true? If so then it most certainly will justify the upgrade to Panther. Do you reckon that this is across the board or just QE capable machines? …

What i most dislike about Aqua icons is that they tend to be gaudy and mutli coloured. Actually IE5 for Mac was IMHO the nicest implementation of Aqua buttons and icons - because they were one colour and 3D. This is what i like about brushed m…

Quote: Originally posted by boy_analog I would have thought that a dedicated video workstation was almost a certainty, in view of Apple's s/w acquisitions. Being able to produce the hardware gets Apple only half way there...there's also the m…

Anyone have 'stats' on what sort of speed imporovements to expect when going from Jaguar to Panther. To be honest, otherwise, there wouldn't be much incentive to upgrade. I'm not particularly bowled over by the new features in Panther. No ment…

I think they should have made the G5 more like a tower version of the Xserve. Had the cooling vents on the top and bottom instead of front back. However, Kudos to Apple for finally producing a very fast and economical 64-bit machine...i guess …
