    They [Apple] didn't understand the concept of group permissions - files copied to a sharepoint had read only group permissions, even if the sharepoint's permissions were defined as group r/w.

    Will Apple make a faster, simplified version of Aqua for the server? The current Mac OSX GUI seems very resource hungry. In Windows Server 2003, themes and many visual effects are disabled by default. Will Apple do the same for Mac OSX server?

    Actually, I heard that one WebObjects developer's Sun servers were up for renewal, so they replaced 3 mid-spec SPARCs with one xserve and got a massive performance INCREASE.
