Well I really can't see how you can come down on Apple for only providing for 3 monitors.

I'm coming down on them for not giving PCI-e slots internally to allow for added monitors or anything else that PCI-e card slots would provide. Point is they could have made a Mac Pro that provided the things I've mentioned and satisfied most pro users, while also pushing the envelope with design. They simply chose to make a pretty design.

As I said it seems to me that 1.2 gigs would be enough even for a video editor. You might need more room but that's easily available on something like a thunderbolt raid.

Yes, now you will need an external box that costs extra and takes up more desk space. They blew it. I don't even do any video editing and I'm using 3/4 of the space on my 2TB internal iMac hard drive.

The only way the new Mac Pro will be a success is if it's cheap, say, under $2K. Given the specs, I don't think it will be. I bet you'll pay as much for the new Mac Pro as the current one costs. All that money and you'll get a form factor with all kinds of built-in compromises.

At least Hackintoshing is now a viable solution for many people. It has been made very simple to do by that community.

And even Snow Leopard is not that stable.

For you, I guess that's true. I found Snow Leopard to be very stable, and Safari as well. Safari crashed maybe once or twice in the entire time I used Snow Leopard. Even under Lion, Safari is stable, but I haven't upgraded to 6.x yet because I hear it's crap. Still using Safari 5.1.7 here and I'm quite happy with it.
