Apple can't get out of Pro market fast enough. They already killed XServe, they "deprecated" Java, which means no chance in hell anyone will try to host their app server on Mac, and now even develop on Mac, they haven't updated their Pro audio software in almost 5 years, the fiasco with FCP X (complete rejection from actual pro users), and most recent rumor they will kill off Mac Pro as well.
Apple wants to be handheld "post-PC" maker and not a computer company. They don't want anything to do with the pro market, people who actually need to do work with their computers.

- recoiledsnake 15y agoThere's some chatter about the Pro line going away too. http://blogs.computerworld.com/19195/apple_kills_the_mac_pro_it_doesnt_matter http://blogs.computerworld.com/19195/apple_kills_the_mac_pro... As with all Apple rumors, take it with a bucket of salt, they might announce a new line tomorrow for all you know.
