The REALLY boggling thing to me is that Apple almost certainly
makes MORE
profit off of a $999 copy of Mac OS X Server than off a $2999 Xserve
I wouldn't be so certain about that. They have a whole lot more
manpower in developing software than hardware. This has been a trend
in computers since the 70's. HW is cheap, good SW is not. I bet Apple
loses money on OS X, from a pure sales perspective. There re other
reasons to keep at it however since it runs your iPod, iPhone, Apple
TV, ...
