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!
"Oh really? Do you remember when Outlook came free with every Windows computer?"
Oh, so Apple is innovative because they were the first to think of adding this feature to a *bundled* mail app?
Thank God we have Apple to invent everything.
Yes, you are right. Linux is destined to fail, whereas OS X is destined to rule because (dramatic pause).... OS X has a "better" built-in calendar! Email, web-browsers, myriad of apps? forget that crap! Calendars is where it's at!

Xeons, eh? Not impressed. Power hungry, high heat, underperforming. If Apple was serious about a professional desktop PC, they'd use Opterons, not Xeons. If later Xeon-branded CPUs don't suck, ok, use those. Sticking with an Intel product just because it's an Intel product is a shortsighted move on Apple's part. With the stock debacle, they have to be more careful.
