Apple has a history of skating to where they think the puck will be. That's not likely viewed as servers and even as desktops. Likely mobile clients and clouds and ubiquitous communications. The section of the D8 interview that Cringley has linked specifically targets how the enterprise market operates; hardly supporting the rest of the discussion in the article. Apple hasn't and doesn't aim at the enterprise market. Duh. In that same D8 interview, Jobs comments on how his view of a migration away from traditional desktops gives him pause; it's been a familiar computing model for many years for many folks, though the replacement clients are clearly often better options. That he sees desktops around and available for the foreseeable future, but that they're not going to be the platform for the majority of users. There will still be folks that need a desktop. Video editing is one of those needs-a-desktop applications, but for how long? How long until you're either rendering on the client, or rendering on hosted services? And until then, yes, there will be boxes to deal with this. The center of computing moved from IBM and UNIVAC mainframes in glass-walled raised-floor computing centers, to VAX superminis, to Unix workstations, to PCs running various operating systems to PCs running Windows, to bigger and denser data centers and more capable and more mobile clients and now-massively improved communications... Welcome to computing. Where's the puck headed? Boxes for video editing? I don't think so.
