[Greg Burke] "OS lion and the merger of iOS coming together (slowly)"

You mean by looks? Certainly not by function or power (there are functional parities). How are you going to compile an application on iOS?

[Greg Burke] "Taking MacPros out of the Apple store"

This is a practical decision. Why have a MacPro in an Apple Store? "I'll take the iPhone 4s, a travel charger, some Bose noise machines, and oh yeah, a MacPro!" Did the place you are gutting this weekend walk in and buy 30 MacPros from the Apple Store when they purchased them? Where are they getting the PCs from? CompUSA?

[Greg Burke] "No big updates for the MacPro in awhile"

[Greg Burke] "The Death of there own professional Software FCP, COLOR, Shake. Is Logic next?"

I know the video industry houses some huge egos, but MacPros aren't sold only to video professionals.

[Greg Burke] "If FCPX can run on the ipad whats the market for consumer Desktop towers(excluding iMacs)?"

fcpx can run on the iPad?

[Greg Burke] "They might make a new "MacPro" (I doubt it) but its always a guessing game with apple.."

I'll give you that. They don't talk, so we never know, but they are still a hardware company. You rarely/never read the reports about how many copies of iWork they sold, although you do hear about the entertainment sales, but that's content. iTunes is free.

No offense, just pointing some things out. In my opinion, the intel roadmap has the most legible signs, at least some of the most tangible.
