Customer Reviews
Far and Above Better than Snow Leopard
This is the first time since Mac OS 9 that Apple's server software has had a professional "non-hobbyware" feel. After updating to from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X Server in the beginning (and what a aweful trip that was, defects galore) and seeing very little improvement over the years, this is a welcome change.
Finally a server product that can sit in the same room as such excellent products as iTunes, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iBook Author and others. There is still room improvement and additional capability, but now there appears to be a solid low hassle-factor product foundation to build upon.
Please keep the updates and enhancements coming Apple!
