I'm surprised there has been so little discussion regarding OS X server. Sounds like it could be a knockout in the education market. Well, we would have to see what are the security arrangements. Yesterdays demo only presented the ability to net-boot which is a must in an education environment. Scott Schiller writes: When watching the demo, however, I kept flashing back 25 years to the practice of using a mainframe and dumb terminals. Only now the "mainframe" is just a couple of grand and takes up 1/100th of the space. Ha. Not even close. The apps were running on the "dumb terminal". That is light years away from a mainframe and a dumb terminal. I empathize with your PTSD from using mainframes, but fear not. Remotely booted iMacs do not dumb terminals make. Based on 520,000 iMacs and assuming somewhere around 1 million units total, I'd guess revenues in the 1.7 range Some of the iMacs sold surely bit into other model sales (remember the large low end G3 inventories at MacMall?). My estimate is around 950K-1mill units sold, for revenues around $1650-$1700mill.
