That is definitely one hell of a nice box. Does Apple have any hard numbers on how many XServes are in service nowadays? I heard they were making pretty decent impact..

There is an article on cnet highlighting the Xserve.

They reckon that Apple have 1% of the server market and last year they only had .3%.  Not bad considering Apple are supposedly dying in view of their competitors.
