Every man-hour of a top designer, programmer or designer spent on the Mac is an hour they don’t have to spend on what really matters at Apple. This doesn’t mean that Macs are getting worse, that argument would be difficult to make, but Macs aren’t improving at the rate Mac users have come to expect. Don’t expect that trend to change. While you’re wishing for a new mini or a “true” Mac netbook Apple is working on the tricky question of resource allocation. For Mac fans, the truth is the best allocation of Apple’s resources isn’t the Mac.
It makes me sad to think that this might be true… if not now, one day.
Their bit on the Xserve made me laugh, though:
Word is that an Xserve upgrade is coming the next time someone buys one. Apple doesn’t advertise this but Steve builds every Xserve personally as a hobby. He finds it relaxing. So maybe if you order an Xserve today it will get shipped to you with the i7 Core processor from Intel. Just kidding, the Xserve and the Mac Pro have been updated together in the past so that is probably the case this time.
