That's quite a blanket statement. MANY companies (including Oracle)

I'd very much doubt that, but I guess one can always push their time
budgets around ;-)
Hm, as someone who personally installed a 1st gen 1.1TB (half full)
Xserve RAID + Xserve in a production environment, back when such a
configuration cost AUD $40,000, I can tell you that it was child's
play to set up, and ran flawlessly. The cost halved within a few
months, iirc. :)

Maybe Apple will drop the server version of OS-X and will
eliminate their
only server hardware (Xserve) since all it manages to do is lose
money for
Apple and distracts from releasing the next iPhone?
Only a lunatic would rely on Apple for a mission-critical server
application.
