Also, when I think about it, the next major Mac Pro change may be rackable only. Given the rise of tablet computing, and the need for backend infrastructure to drive "cloud" apps for said tablets. Apple is leading the charge in the direction of portable computing, and with good reason, they have the momentum right now to keep that market strongly tied up.
The Mac, as we currently know it, is going to slowly phase out as the Tablet *becomes* the PC. Personally, though I'm a heavy Apple user, I want an HP Slate with Windows 7 ..... mmmm ..... Macbook Air? Hah! EdB Well, ok, I'd take a Macbook Air too .... but my writing software is better supported on the Mac side.
