Re: What if there actually IS a new Mac Pro?

[Herb Sevush] "The only difference is they haven't kept you waiting and guessing."

That's assuming you believe they will stay true to the roadmap. As I've pointed out (elsewhere) roadmaps are often not followed. (see Google WebM and Mozilla not supporting H.264 as a very recent example).

[Herb Sevush] "Precisely why I want the plan announced publicly; with a public deceleration they will be more likely to fulfill it, knowing the PR consequences. Nothing can protect you totally from getting screwed, but this public pressure does increase the likelihood of a better outcome. "

Precisely why some companies don't want to reveal roadmaps.There's nothing like a company facing damned if you do and damned if you don't, once a roadmap is revealed, to decide they're better off not revealing roadmaps.
