How about Apple is about to replace the MacPro with something new and equally powerful if not more so.
Give me Xeon and GPU power in a rack mountable and/or stackable design with lots of Thunderbolt ports. -
[David Eaks] “Guess I’m just pissed because I (re)built my company around Apple when we moved into HD. My first Apple product in ’08, the Mac Pro, loved it and didn’t look back. Excellent experience with Apple all around. I was comfortable and confident that the investment in Apple was in a company who would support my professional needs far into the future. Just yesterday we were talking about upgrading to the new Mac Pro with thunderbolt when it comes ou”
Why are you pissed? Apple haven’t done anything with the MacPro yet, all of this is just wild speculation at the moment

[Dennis Radeke] “I know that’s kind of sarcastic, but it would be kind of cool if they actually did something like that. I don’t think it will happen though.”
Unless they buy Adobe?
Seriously Adobe are so far down the road on integrated publishing, web/mobile and broadcast integration that the only way Apple could possibly catch up is to buy them.

All still in the online store and all shipping except 12 core which is 2-4 days so the channel doesn’t seem to be running dry.

[Steve Connor] “Unless they buy Adobe?”
Hey, they have the cash for it, but I don’t think that the fit is there. Adobe wouldn’t be as profitable to Apple if they were Mac platform only. Part of our zen if you will, is being open and cross platform. I don’t think that would happen to fit with Apple’s business model right now. And to point back to the original conversation, a Tower would be a compelling argument for Premiere Pro and After Effects, but if there isn’t going to be another tower then (barring Craig’s prophecy) it makes even less sense.

I think they would have made a move for Adobe by now if that was their plan, I hope they don’t in the future.

What if Apple doesn’t do that?

For once we agree
I would have zero confidence their products would be around in 3 years
