With the server, it's a different game. "Mac" doesn't carry much weight in the server rooms of non-Apple shops. Xserve,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, XSan,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, XGrid and Xserve RAID were well-named to overcome skeptics: The X is UNIX, and that has more cachet than Mac right now, at least in IT. For academic and scientific clusters, Macserve would serve perfectly well. It's hard to predict what IT folk will spend money for and what makes them leave their checkbooks at home.
Thanks for the comment.
"Apple's going to hand us a Xeon 5100 Series (Woodcrest) dual socket,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, quad-core Xserve,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, keeping the Xserve name because it doesn't have "Power" in it."
Tom, I think you're wrong about that for two reasons:  1) "iBook" obviously doesn't have "Power" in the name, either, and 2) Uncle Steve said way back in January that he wants "Mac" in the name of every product.  I hope we see an Xserve replacement with the specs you list, but I bet it'll be called the MacServe...
This from a commenter:
I don't remember that Steve said in his Macworld Expo keynote he wants Mac* for every product, but I'll take your word. Mac Pro and MacStation have been floated by commenters as possibilities for the workstation.
