No, what&#8217;s stunning is that Apple&#8217;s marketers will price the Xserve system at \\$3,999. That makes the long-reputed price-gouging Macintosh maker the price leader for dual-CPU servers by a couple of bucks. But when you add in Windows per-client pricing, the savings become huge. Apple sells its systemswith no per-client fees for Mac OS X. In contrast, a 25-user enterprise license for Windows adds \\$2,495 to the price of a dual-processor PowerEdge 1750 server from Dell Inc.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/macslash.org\/article.pl?sid=04\/01\/12\/1739245\" title=\"Apple Is Price Leader In Enterprise\">MacSlash<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>iTunes:<\/strong> &#8220;God Part II&#8221; by U2 from the album <em>Rattle and Hum<\/em> (1988, 3:15).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s so nice to live in a time when every news article about Apple doesn&#8217;t involve some form of doom and gloom predictions.
