Hm. I think they overestimate the ability to maintain that platform. If physical plant, security etc are included in that it's a pretty lean operation. It'll be interesting if either a) Apple doesn't eat it's own dogfood, and uses somebody else's kit, or b) they improve the manageability of the Xserve/Mac OS X Server line of products based on the needs and the feedback they get from this size of an operation. Apple is sure to find out things about the needs of real Enterprise customers in any event. It'll be interesting if they feed those learnings back into their products. 50 jobs to support 500K/ft of Xserves? Hm. I think they overestimate the ability to maintain that platform.
