> Are there Mac servers out there you want to run apps on? Or just consumer apps you want to run on your mac? Curious about the use case!

Maybe they haven't but I feel like Apple has abandoned the Mac OS X Server so no apps at least for me in that case but I think consumer apps would be a pretty cool use case.

Roger; thanks!

I second the opinion regarding OSX servers; not only is Xserve long dead but the "server" component of OSX is an application that bundles mostly open source applications with a GUI, if I'm not mistaken?

This appears to be aimed at SOHO users and not racks and racks of servers in a data centre.
