It's hard not to feel like more is yet unsaid about some of these changes. I wonder if Light Peak is going to play a role in filling lost 1U features - like fibre connectivity, etc.?
On OS X Server in clouds/vm's - that ginormous data center might have more uses than we know.
When I think of the cost of part replacement kits for the XServe, the Mac Mini basically is a replacement part.
