For the most part I like Apple's engineering efforts. They're in the rather cool position of having enough margin to do things mostly right. After 20+ years of Windows I started using Macs a few years ago, and they were great for getting work done. Of course, Apple has screwed things up all along: Skeumorphic apps. Lack of repairability of devices. The howling, churning cesspool that is the iTunes UI. But they do awesome things, usually on their own (with the help of a pile of money), with small teams, and that's pretty admirable. But then we have the last couple of years, and it seems like stuff is going off the rails. This "server" thing is laughable without hardware to back it up. Office infrastructure (which this claims to be) needs to be run on hardware utterly different from any of Apple's current offerings. Oh, you can probably get away with running it on a spare laptop or mini or whatever, for a while. But anyone making their company financially dependent on this thing will eventually be let down, and hard, and that is going to suck. Maybe next week Apple will announce a rack-mounted "pro" (or Apple's cool-but-screwy take on real server hardware) and everyone will breathe a sigh of relief that Apple hasn't gone full bull-goose crazy and left the tracks entirely, that there is someone at the helm who knows WTF they are doing. Could happen. Not holding my breath.
