My guess is this is lip service to the pro market so that when it doesnt sell , they can say "see? Nobody buys desktops anymore" and axe that whole division. Really, the trashcan formfactor is fitting...

I predict a “Towertosh” hacking movement to rip the parts out of them and mount in something like a Cosmos II case. Hopefully enough SATA ports on the board to be useful or SATA card option as well as replacing the GPU. The AMD thing is really a puzzler though – surely they will have a nVidia option but again, hopefully hackable.

 

Also, no mention of non Xeon CPU’s. The lack of Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge “E” processors is such a huge gap in their CPU. It’s like Apple genetically is opposed to good price/performance numbers.

And not until Fall – will anyone care by then?

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
