It's a bit off-topic but if I remember correctly they silently introduced a 'Server' version of the Mac Pro. Running the same X-Server software. Basically all that has changed is the form-factor, which isn't a rackmount anymore, but instead a tower model.
'Enterprise-y' Apple deployments will probably still be an option, just not in a rack.
- rcoder 16y agosigh Not to continue this off-topic digression too much further, but a Mac Pro running OS X Server is in no way a replacement for an "enterprise" XServe deployment. For a full explanation, see this TidBITS article: http://db.tidbits.com/article/11735 http://db.tidbits.com/article/11735 tl;dr version: The Mac Pro takes up 4x the rack space and lacks hot-swappable power supplies and drive bays, making it an awful fit for most 24x7 server environments.
