A comparable x86 server is half the cost, double (or more) the speed, and at least double (or more) the storage. All of this while running an OS (Linux, FreeBSD, etc) that can be managed in bulk from a command line - the Apple tech support folks freak out if any command-line commands are mentioned. Apple gets a lot of points for being the non-Microsoft, but they are every bit as closed and proprietary that MS is.

From the noises made by many before Monday's keynote, it seemed as though ZFS would be a major part of the Leopard launch. Now it seems to be a sideshow only. Hopefully, this will chnage at a later date but it would seem to be a year or two in the future. Or perhaps Dominic Giampaolo is cooking up something completely new in the Apple filesystems group :) I’m a bit disappointed to find that ZFS is not as prominent in Leopard as was first anticipated.
