dm 发帖数: 92 | 3 OSX刚出来的时候,apple在pc市场的份额已经很小。因为osx实际上是unix(bsd+
nextstep),苹果想以此攻入hpc(high performance computing)市场。
现在mac系列在pc高端/价市场已经有了相当的份额,再加上iphone/ipod/ipad的巨大
成功,将有限的资源用在最赚钱的consumer computing上是自然而然的了。 |

J********a 发帖数: 5208 | 6 其实这个产品挺失败的,首先没有提供任何独特的东西,服务器市场主要分两部分,一
部分是IT公司,无论大小都有自己的support team,这些公司一般只买硬件不要软件,
直接上custom的linux,不会考虑xserve。另一部分是非IT公司,这些公司都要很好的
service,买Windows Server,出了问题先找dell/hp再找微软,所谓技术人员就是电话
转接员。xserve的support team怎么也不能跟微软比,还是玩不过。我是觉得这个产品
是蛋疼得厉害,烧钱玩

consumers, not Apple's forte. But,
mac mini's are often adopted as small servers and doing ok.

j**h 发帖数: 173 | 9 That's the other part of mini's appealing - living room. Overall, I'm
starting to suspect that mac mini's are side
products to Apple's engineering effort on iMac or Macbook, just like Apple
TV is to iPad. They use similar
hardware parts, and because of the scale and focus, the marginal profit is
substantial from these tiny things.
