Interesting indeed. I have like six sites hosted by MT, two DV ones. Always been curious about this. Thanks for the post. ---

This is really nice. Hope someone here gets in the beta so we can hear about it. I cannot see this being cheap. ---

How is OS X licensed? Is it like Windows where each runtime instance of it requires a license? That means each virtual Leopard is going to cost a few hundred as basic cost for (mt). And 1/8th of one of these mega 64-bit servers is going to be pretty costly as well. There is no way this thing will be less than $100/month. What’s the point of a Mac OS X server anyway? What does it have that a Linux box does not? ---

^ If you have a studio full of mac’s and are interested in any kind of groupware like calendars, wiki server and directory (think CRM), want a super easy server to administer cos you already have about 6 to look after and don’t want to listen to staff \*\*\*\*\*ing about crappy UI’s served to them - it’s a pant wetingly tasty proposition. :lol: ---

It brings the enterprise appeal of Windows Server 2003 to OS X. ---

This doesn’t appeal to me at all, personally. Really, with an IT guy that any company that can afford this is going to have, I don’t see why _anybody_ is going to want this. But then again, it’s OS X and pretty. I hope people know they don’t get VNC. 😛 ---
