[Chris Harlan] "it makes sense to me that there should be a Mac Pro, even if its manufactured and sold at a loss."

I'd argue that the halo effect works at both ends of the spectrum. Certainly Apple wants people who by iOS devices to move into the entire Mac ecosystem. It's also important (IMHO) that each person who uses a MacPro (or an equally powerful replacement) may well have a MBP for portable use, an iMac for home/family use (and it may be more than one) and iPhones, iPod Touches, iPads for various family members. Pull the top end and some number of people may be using Windows and Androids within two years.

That said, I do think the tower is on the way out but that doesn't mean the "pro" machine should be on the way out. I hope not.
