To attempt to get a statement from Apple regarding the future (or not of their pro product lineup including: OSX Server, Final Cut Server, Xsan, Final Cut Studio, Logic Studio. The sudden announcement of discontinuation of the Xserve server has caused alot of Apple Technicians and Pro customers worry over their futures and the value of their skillsets.

Expect a status report on their official response once I receive communication regarding a sit-down time.
