Re: Apple may dump the Mac Pro?

High end movie studios and designers use them and are generally willing to spare no expense to get premium performance. They don't want a consumer toy.

To me, it looks like Mac OS is heading towards being a consumer toy, aka iOS for the desktop with similar restrictions. Maybe not totally restricted in 10.8, but I can see it in the future not being able to install apps not from the Mac App Store.

There's been zero evidence to show that Apple would completely restrict what apps are installed on their desktops and laptops. Just because there's Launchpad, which gives your computer a bit of an iOS-like feel, a small but vocal group have been panicking that Apple's going to totally lock down the machine. Let it go.
