Personally I'd stay *far* away from the XServs until Apple learns to build
some real server harware. The current XServs have internal parts more
appropriate to a Dell desktop (promise controller, low-speed commodity IDE
drives), than a server.
If Apple has prices these IU desktop machines similar to Sun, then I sense
doom ahead for the Apple Server Division.
