You mean besides the new pricing which is WAAAY more affordable than prior

the fact that Xsan Client is built in and Xsan Controller is also insanely
cheaper? (I could go on).
I was writing about interface advances; not about money.
Certainly Remote access and so forth are, just a bit, cheaper with
Linux, so there
have to be other reasons for sticking with Mac.
From what I can see, should I splurge on one of the new Mac-Minis, the
first thing I would do is install Leopard (10.5) on the thing.
Aside from all of that, I don't think we will be doing a wholesale upgrade just
yet. There are applications that will certainly break (I ran the first gold RC)
and upgrading Lion also means, for some upgrading their software too.

well; I don't know what to say, but on the basis of that webpage there seems to
be
nothing much more than eye-candy.
The only thing that seems vaguely new is the set of finger-twiddles one can
perform on one's trackpad: just thinking about them makes me reach for my mouse
and Belkin Nostromo.
For those who are excited about multi-touch guestures, they can get these
working
with Touchegg in Linux for a few minutes work, rather than rushing out to buy
'Lion'.
