Re: Server Mailing list? (LuKreme)

FYI, Apple has in no way said OS X Server has been dropped.  That is a 
*huge* assumption of the direction they are going to take.

I have a feeling that, just like FCP X, they retooled OS X Server in 
10.7, and we will see continued improvement - not discontinuation - of 
it in the future.  Sometimes it's two steps forward and one step back.
