I have to say, the release of this machine is the first time in probably over 20 years I have seriously considered switching to a PC…  If the Windows OS was a bit more straight forward and had less preinstalled crap you have to go around turning off (not that apple doesn't do this as well) I would probably try out having one PC workstation in my studio now…  I just cant take the time to learn how to admin a whole new OS

I would LOVE one of these new Mac Pros…  but for no rational reason whatsoever…  Based strictly on the guts of it, there is no justification whatsoever for the price…  My only hope is that within a year, the prices will drop to a more reasonable level… I know it still will be more than the comparable PC machine, but I've always been willing to pay a bit more to stay in the mac ecosystem that I am familiar with.  But on this machine, I really feel like they switched from being the equivalent of being a BMW to being a Tesla….

I am anxious to see the geek bench scores as they start coming out…
