A Business Week article on Apple's new XServe compliments the new rack-mounted servers for their price, equipment, and reliability, "a similarly equipped Windows server would cost some $5,000." The article also states "Apple also should benefit as established enterprise computing companies, including Hewlett-Packard and Oracle, develop software for its servers."

    great

    runnig with the big dogs. most servers really dont have close to 1ghz inside so we are the biggest bang for the buck, plus no worrying about IIS DDoS debacles or infrastructure compatability nightmares. smoke that MS.

    i want to just SEE MS try and release an open AND secure platform, oh wait...is that pig flying....hehe

    Too little too late

    Many servers also have RAID, redundant power supplies, and hot swapable drives.

    Open? yeah right, you want open, try LINUX.

    Secure... Os9 was secure, but alas it is dead. The closer you delve into UNIX the less security you have.
