Yep, the new Mac Pro is going to be a pain for IT support to move to another desk or office with all its bits hanging off it.

That is, of course, if the new Mac Pro ever makes it into the enterprise given Apple's track record in that area. I always what happened to the IT manager who convinced their boss to invest heavily in a few XServes... :-)

Track record? You mean the inroads they've been making for like 5 years with the iPhone and the iPad?

That said, Mac Pro is not for the enterprise. It's for big calculations: video, 3D, pro audio, scientific computing, etc.

It's not for running Lotus Domino and accessing some VB internal app.

This. See my comments for another bad XServe experience.
