Mac Pro, Mac OS X Virtual Desktops Announced at WWDC

haym37 writes "Of the many announcements yet to come at WWDC, the first is the announcement of the Mac Pro. The Mac Pro contains two Intel Xeons, up to 3 GHz, and is supposed to be 1.6x to 2.1x the speed of the PowerMac G5 quad. It can hold up to 2 TB of internal storage and up to 16 GB of memory. The graphics card can be up to a Radeon x1900 or an FX4500. The case will be the same as the PowerMac." MacRumors.com is providing running coverage from the floor (Note: "[U]pdates will be automatically inserted at the top of the updates section. Do not reload manually."), including another announcement that OS X will include virtual desktops. What a great idea!

disappointed -- rumor sites are their worst enemy

Come on -- what's the TOP SECRET stuff? Where's built-in virtualization, or Apple's own implementation of Win32? Or the Tivo-like Front Row features?

And Leopard isn't available until Spring 2007?? Sigh.

I love my Mac, but after all the HYPE surrounding this WWDC -- this is a big disappointment. Maybe I should just avoid the Apple rumors sites from now on?
