Inertia – Apple WWDC 2012: In the mid-90s, when the Wintel platform came to dominate the sweet spot of the business/consumer computer business, Apple at least had one loyal constituency: high end users. While Apple didn’t sell a lot of computers compared to PC makers like IBM, the company continued to appeal to creative people with a little pocket change to spend on a premium machine. Now that Apple has come to dominate consumer categories like cell phones and tablets, those creative types are wondering whether the technology giant needs them anymore. It’s been two years since a significant update of the workhorse computer they rely on, the Mac Pro tower. Lou Borella of VG3TV, one of those nervous users who wonder if Apple might walk from the pro market, wrote an open letter to Apple on his Facebook page asking the company what’s up with the silence at WWDC 2012. In this edition of Inertia a discussion with Lou Borella.

Sadly, the Apple inertia on the Mac Pro has done nothing to solve the lack of new products for the Professional level community. The “new” update to the Mac Pro isn’t an update. it is only a slight change. Nothing major at all. Nothing that can help the power users upgrade to modern level equipment. At this point, Apple says wait until 2013… sometime in 2013.
This isn’t good enough for most users. You can read more at an article on our website. Thanks so much for Lou doing what he is trying to do to help a formerly quiet community. and thanks to Connected for bringing more attention to this frustrating matter. Which unless Apple gets creative with a different solution, ie new motherboard on current case that supports USB 3, Thunderbolt…. people are going to leave Mac OS. It is already happening.
