They could make it more capable -- a real "headless iMac", with desktop-class CPUs, discrete GPUs (assuming the iMacs keep those), and lots of ports. I mean that's obviously not really what they ended up doing for the 1st gen, but maybe they could sync them up in subsequent revisions.

Then the rumored Mac Pro Mini could just be that, plus PCIe slots. I dunno. The case for a monster Mac Pro becomes harder if you're doing custom CPUs for just that one product, so maybe Apple will have to expand their "Pro" product line so they can use the parts in more than one product.

When I was a kid, people who did wrong were punished, restricted, and forbidden. Now, when someone does wrong, all of the rest of us are punished, restricted, and forbidden... and the one who did the wrong is counselled and "understood" and fed ice cream.
