Mac OS X Server, the industrial-strength server operating system
Xserve runs Mac OS X Server, the cutting-edge, UNIX-based server operating system that gives you such coveted features as protected memory, preemptive multitasking, symmetric multiprocessing, advanced memory management, and the latest in networking technologies. At the core of Mac OS X Server is the industrial-strength open source foundation called Darwin. Based on the Mach 3.0 microkernel and BSD UNIX, Darwin is the rock-solid foundation that gives Mac OS X Server its remarkable performance and stability.

Belive it or not there are actually a whole bunch of MacOSX powerd servers out there. Severeal universities and other institutions out there use them. So this is certainly a much desired upgrade.

None the less, it is also an alternative to the NT server boxes. For people who choose NT over UNIX for a server, because they want a user friendly interface, now they have a better choice. Run it on MacOS X, it's based in FreeBSD, has no cliant licence, and is more user friendly than any version of windows.

So thar ya go.

Besides, every good computer maker should offer a server alternative. Who knows, maybe it will catch on  :D
