I don't see a machine like this being the ressurection of Apple until they produce a consumer version. That leaves the professional Apple users and there are only so many in the world, especially those who *need* a new Mac.
Of course many Mac heads would love a new machine for the sake of it (count me in since my dual CPU G4 runs like a slug) but I wonder how many will justify the expense of it.
I also have my doubts of forking out for a machine which regards '64-bit' in the much same sense as Windows 95 did with '32-bit'. Maybe the hardware is 64-bit but I wonder how long it will take for the operating system let alone anything else to make proper use of it. And if we're talking some months, it seems that waiting is the most prudent thing to do. Hey, it's not like Apple haven't had production problems before now (*cough* G4 cube) so maybe this is smart anyway.
